Filaria (Wuchereria Bancrofti) Antibody, Serum

Description

The Filaria (Wuchereria Bancrofti) Antibody, Serum test is a specialized immunological assay designed to detect antibodies against Wuchereria bancrofti, a parasitic worm responsible for lymphatic filariasis. This test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring infections in endemic areas. It measures the body’s immune response to the parasite, indicating current or past exposure. The presence of these antibodies can help confirm a diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis, especially in cases where microfilariae are not detectable in the blood. This test is particularly valuable for epidemiological studies, screening programs, and assessing the effectiveness of mass drug administration programs aimed at eliminating lymphatic filariasis.
