a polymerase chain reaction assay for the survey of bancroftian filariasis.	a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay based on a highly repeated dna sequence found in wuchereria bancrofti (sspi repeat) has been modified for the survey of bancroftian filariasis in expatriate workers (myamese, karen and mon) from myanmar where human filariasis is endemic. the pcr was very sensitive with the ability to detect the presence of as little as 10 pg of parasite dna. the primers used in this pcr also showed highly specific amplification of parasite dna without the presence of non-s ...	2002	12693583
