Current guidelines from professional bodies recommend annual testing using both molecular (ELISA\/PCR\/Lateral Flow) and microscopic (detection of microfilariae in blood) testing. The inconvenience of the latter, however, presents a barrier to some clinicians towards adherence to these guidelines. We have recently developed a fully automated, rapid and hands-free test that uses videography coupled to computer vision analysis to detect and enumerate blood-borne microfilariae.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here we describe the performance of this test compared to a common clinical option \u2013 the 20 \u03bcL wet mount.

Within the linear range, the automated method counted more than 10-times as many microfilariae in the same blood samples than the manual method; this translated to a sensitivity of 100% at approximately 50 microfilariae\/mL compared to 60% for the manual wet mount. After a further 2-fold dilution the sensitivity of the manual method dropped to 10% while that of the automated remained at 100%.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results indicate that the automated system is a viable option to replace current manual options in-clinic while combining superior sensitivity with greater convenience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-026-07486-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T09:25:04Z","timestamp":1787217904000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fluorescence videography for the rapid and automated in-clinic detection of microfilariae"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Britt","family":"Ripley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mackenzie","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Calcote","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew R.","family":"Moorhead","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elyssa","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Slusarewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"7486_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"148","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-023-05690-8","volume":"16","author":"F Dantas-Torres","year":"2023","unstructured":"Dantas-Torres F, Ketzis J, P\u00e9rez Tort G, Mihalca AD, Baneth G, Otranto D, et al.
