Parasite Antigenemia without Microfilaremia in Bancroftian Filariasis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1996
The term "endemic normal" in the context of filariasis refers to people who are amicrofilaremic and free of clinical signs or symptoms of filariasis despite regular exposure to the parasite. Some sera from endemic normals contain soluble Wuchereria bancrofti antigens that are detectable by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Observations on agglutination and the thigmotaxis of microfilariae in bancroftian filariasis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1957
Abstract 1. (1) Phenomena interpreted as agglutination and thigmotaxis of microfilariae were observed in vitro in heparinated venous blood from a number of W. bancrofti carriers, recent immigrants from Cochin, India. 2. (2) Distinct patterns of “Medusa head” and “sunflower” formations of the agglutinated masses of microfilariae were noted.
