PERSISTENCE OF BRUGIA MALAYI DNA IN VECTOR AND NON-VECTOR MOSQUITOES: IMPLICATIONS FOR XENOMONITORING AND TRANSMISSION MONITORING OF LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS

Xenomonitoring (detection of filarial larvae or their DNA in mosquitoes) is a sensitive marker for assessing the endemicity of filariasis and a useful tool for evaluating elimination programs. To examine the fate of microfilariae (mf) and filarial DNA in vector competent and non-competent mosquito s...
