  abstract = {{H}uman mansonellosis is caused by {M}. perstans, {M}. ozzardi and {M}. streptocerca, the three main filarial species in the genus {M}ansonella. {D}espite accumulating evidence of a high prevalence in endemic areas, there is currently no filariasis control programme targeting mansonellosis. {T}he health-related impact on people living with these filariae remains unknown, and evidences regarding treatment strategies are scarce. {L}ike other neglected diseases, it mainly affects poor populations living in tropical and subtropical climates. {M}ansonellosis can be considered one of the most neglected tropical infectious diseases. {T}he objective of this literature review was to draw attention to the gap of knowledge regarding {M}ansonella spp. taxonomy, the transmission of these arthropod-borne filariasis and the health outcomes of people living with mansonellosis.},
