Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the filarial-specific IgG4 testing kit for the surveillance of fi larial infection in mobile population. Methods The mobile population from some provinces which were heavily endemic areas of filariasis was observed to detect the filarial infection by filarial-specific IgG4 testing kit. Some of local residents and children were detected by the kit too. The filarial-spe cific IgG4 positives were examined by the parasitological detection method. Results Five out of 2 132 mobile people were positive in the test with 0. 23% of positive rate, among them, 0. 30% of the mobile population who came from Anhui Province were positive. One out of 1 094 local resi dents was positive with 0. 09% of positive rate. No positive was found in the local children. No mi crofilaremia positive was detected in serum by parasitological detection. Conclusion The filariaial specific IgG4 testing kit is suit to be used in the filariasis surveillance for mobile population.
