Evaluation of Circulating Antigen Tests for Lymphatic Filariasis. (Old ID 27775)

Principal Investigator

This project will be part of a multi-site study managed by the Centers for Disease Control, USA to determine whether existing tests, including but not limited to the STANDARD Q filariasis test (SD BioSensor, Suwon, South Korea) can serve as a suitable alternative to the Filariasis Test Strip (Abbott) in Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis Activities managed by WHO. JCU will serve as one of the independent evaluators to assess test performance characteristics of lateral flow tests, including sensitivity and specificity using samples already in our collections for which ethical approval has been granted for such investigations.
