ABSTRACT
A dot-ELISA for detection of microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti in an endemic area was developed. This test can differentiate the endemic normals from the microfilaraemic asymptomatic individuals. Antigens of molecular weight 130 and 52 kDa of the cattle filaria worm Setaria digitata were used for this test. It was observed that these two antigens were also present in the serum of asymptomatic microfilaraemic individuals.
