Description
Summary:To assess the performance of the immunochromatographic test for filariasis, adult Wuchereria bancrofti worms were incubated under different conditions. The tests were strongly positive with incubation fluids from both living and mechanically damaged females. Negative results were observed with incubation fluids from all male worms and from intact dead females. Para a valiar o desempenho do teste imunocromatográfico para filariose, vermes adultos de Wuchereria bancrofti foram incubados em diferentes condições. Os testes foram fortemente positivos com fluidos de incubação de fêmeas vivas e danificadas mecanicamente. Resultados negativos foram obtidos com fluidos de todos os machos e de fêmeas mortas intactas.
