FAQ
What is the lifespan of filaria?
The microfilaria parasites exist for around 6-8 years, during which time they generate millions of immature larvae called microfilariae. These larvae course through the bloodstream, causing potential harm.
What organs are affected by filaria?
The filariasis worms inhabit the human lymphatic system. The lymphatic system serves to regulate the body's fluid levels and combat infections. Lymphatic filariasis is spread from person to person by mosquitoes causing lymph edema and swelling in the genitals, legs, breasts, etc.

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Filaria Antigen Test in Sanand to detect Microfilaria from both lymphatic and non-lymphatic filariasis through peripheral blood screening.
Overview of Filaria Antigen Test
Filariasis is a tropical disease that occurs when filarial parasites are transmitted to humans through mosquitoes. The Filariasis Test is a rapid, qualitative, point-of-care diagnostic test for mapping, monitoring and transmission assessment surveys (TAS) for the detection of the Wuchereria bancrofti antigen in human blood serum or plasma. The laboratory methods used for diagnosing active infections can be done by demonstrating microfilariae in the night blood specimens, detection of circulating filarial antigens (CFA) released in the body by adult worms.
For accurate test results, you can rely on Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for a Filaria Antigen Test in Sanand.
Why and When do you require a Filaria Antigen Test?
Adult filarial parasites are known to trigger lymphatic inflammation, leading to the destruction of vital vessels and subsequent dysfunction. This damage is not limited only to those with symptoms; even asymptomatic individuals can be affected by this condition. Such circumstances often result in frequent bacterial infections for which afflicted areas such as lower limbs may become particularly vulnerable. Elephantiasis - a more advanced form of Lymphoedema – predominates these body parts among females who have suffered from it before. This is why it is important to run a filaria antigen test on time before it leads to severe complications. The doctor may ask you to take a Filaria Antigen Test for certain conditions like
- Living in tropical and subtropical areas
- High exposure to mosquitoes
- Living in unhygienic conditions
Your doctor may ask you to take a Filaria Antigen Test if you experience:
- Swelling in certain parts of the body like legs, genitals, breasts, arms etc.
- Dry skin
- Pitted skin

How to interpret the Filaria Antigen Test report:
The immunochromatographic Filaria Antigen test detects circulating filarial antigens from Wuchereria bancrofti with precision and accuracy. Its efficient functioning makes it an optimal tool for qualitative assessment.
If the test result is positive it means the antigen of Wuchereria bancrofti is present in the sample. A negative result means no antigen was found against filariasis.
