Filariasis is a parasitic disease. These are spread by blood-feeding insects such as black flies and mosquitoes.

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.
