Diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis for epidemiological studies is an area of science that has been greatly modernized over the last two decades. Recent developments and the introduction of new technologies have led to the replacement of traditional diagnostic methods that were insensitive, tedious and often impractical with molecular biology techniques that have considerable potential for field use. This paper reviews some of these major new techniques and the applications of molecular diagnosis in the field of lymphatic filariasis.
