Simple blood-spot sampling with nested polymerase chain reaction detection for epidemiology studies on Brugia malayi (original) (raw)
1999, International Journal for Parasitology
In the absence of a suitable Brugia malayi antigen detection assay, PCR remains one of the more sensitive alternatives to Giemsa-stained thick blood ®lms for B. malayi detection. The need for refrigerated storage and transportation of blood has limited the use of PCR for large-scale epidemiology studies in remote endemic areas.
