Figure 3. — Periodicity of L. loa Mf in seven patients with L. loa Mf in night blood smears. One subject (subject 4) had no Mf at the time of reexamination. The others had variable periodicity patterns that were diurnal (subjects 2 and 3), diurnally subperiodic (subject 5), and aperiodic (subjects 6 and 7); 60-μL finger prick blood samples were collected at (a) 21:00, (b) 05:00, and (c) 13:00 hours, and Mf densities were determined by microscopy. The species identification was confirmed to be L. loa in all cases by qPCR.
