Sensitivity of the nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for Brugia malayi and signi®cance of `free' DNA in PCR-based assays

The blood filtration method was used as the gold standard to determine the detection level of simple blood-spot sampling and nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Brugia malayi. Of 100 samples, 48 were filtration-positive. Of these, 26 had microfilaria counts that were low enough (<1–29 micr...
