Abstract

Current methods for detecting and identifying filariae in mosquitoes are laborious and time consuming. With today's technology, we can reasonably expect development of rapid, sensitive and specific assays for detecting and identifying filariae in naturally infected mosquito populations. Progress in developing such assays is reviewed.
