BABIO Launches Filariasis IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit to Support Global Filarial Disease Diagnosis
BABIO, a leading Chinese manufacturer of diagnostic medical devices, has introduced the Filariasis IgG/IgM Test Kit (Colloidal Gold)—a fast, accurate, and easy-to-use lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of lymphatic filarial parasites (Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi). The kit enables simultaneous detection of IgG and IgM antibodies in serum, plasma, or whole blood, making it a powerful tool in screening and early diagnosis of filariasis across Africa, Southeast Asia, and emerging global markets.
Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) affecting over 120 million people globally. Early detection remains critical for successful treatment and prevention of long-term complications such as lymphedema and elephantiasis.
