Mansonelliasis
Mansonelose
CategoryDefinition
Mansonellosis are tropical filarioses caused by several species of the Mansonella genus that are spread by small insects of the genus CulicoIdes. Traditionally considered as non-pathogenic, they are now known to cause hypereosinophilia. Clinical manifestations include pruritus and edema in the lower limbs, but each case should be considered individually.
