What is Microfilaria Detection (MF) test?
Filariasis is a parasitic disease. These are spread by blood-feeding insects such as black flies and mosquitoes. The embryos circulate in lymphatic tissues and blood as microfilaria leading to lymphangitis, lymphadenitis, elephantiasis, and tropical eosinophilia.

Why get the Microfilaria Detection (MF) test?
Microfilaria is the term used to refer to the larva of a certain parasitic nematode, i.e., filariae when it is still in an early larval stage. These parasites are released into the bloodstream of the host body by the adult parasites. As a result, these embryonic larvae are usually found in the blood of an infected person.
