Performance characteristics of STANDARD Q Filariasis Antigen test (QFAT) to detect filarial antigens of Wuchereria bancrofti in the field
The Q filariasis antigen test is a promising tool for detecting the Wuchereria bancrofti antigen. The kits may be further validated for the review of Diagnostic Technical Advisory Group for Neglected Tropical Diseases (DTAG), to be recommended for the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF).
