Loiasis is a parasitic disease caused by infection with nematodes of the genus Loa. These worms, like other filariae, are transmitted to humans through the bites of blood-sucking flies, in particular flies of the genus Chrysops, which live in tropical and subtropical zones. Loiasis is characterized by periodic migration of the parasite through the subcutaneous tissues, which often manifests itself in symptoms such as itching and swelling. In severe cases, complications may develop that affect both the eyes and the central nervous system. The pathology can cause serious social and economic consequences, affecting the quality of life of patients.<\/p>\n
