Filariasis is typically diagnosed through blood tests that detect microfilariae, the larvae of the filarial worms, in the bloodstream. A common method is the use of thick blood smears or filtration techniques, often performed at night when the larvae are more likely to be present. Serological tests that identify antibodies or antigens related to the infection can also be employed. Additionally, imaging techniques like ultrasound may be used to assess for complications related to the disease.
