Abstract
The indirect immunofluorescence technique in cats infected with filarial parasites, Brugia malayi, B. pahangi and D. repens were studied. The antibody level in infected microfilaraemic cats was higher than that in infected amicrofilaraemic cats and uninfected cats. Papain-treated whole microfilariae appeared to be more sensitive than the sonicated antigen. The comparative IFA titres using papain-treated and sonicated microfilarial antigen, in the serodiagnosis of filariasis is presented.
