  abstract = {{T}he specificity of skin snips for onchocerciasis diagnoses is considered to be almost 100%. {O}ur molecular methods revealed that microfilariae emerging from skin snips collected from highly microfilaremic {L}oa loa-infected individuals were largely misidentified as {O}nchocerca volvulus. {T}his has important implications for onchocerciasis diagnostic testing in {L}oa-endemic areas.},
