Detection of DNA of nocturnally periodic Brugia malayi in night and day blood samples by a polymerase chain reaction-ELISA-based method using an internal control DNA.
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
An internal control was used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-ELISA-based technique to detect the Hha I repeat of the filarial parasite Brugia malayi. A single microfilaria added to 200 microl of blood was reliably detected. The assay was evaluated on field samples from persons living in an area endemic for Anopheles-transmitted, nocturnally periodic B. malayi in central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Examination of...
