Abstract

Until recently, the TropBio antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the immunochromatographic test rapid-card test were the only commercially available diagnostic tests for lymphatic filariasis. The new Brugia Rapid antibody-detection dipstick is a welcome addition, but there is an urgent need to develop more cost-effective, accurate and standardized immunological tests for use in the global filariasis elimination program.
