A simple and rapid staining method for detection of hemozoin pigment by methylene blue stain

Filariasis is transmitted by the Culex mosquito and the adult worms live in the lymphatic vessels of the definitive host. The microfilariae are released into the peripheral circulation. Filariasis causes a spectrum of diseases including the following conditions: Asymptomatic microfilaria, acute lymphangitis and lymphadenitis, chronic lymphadenitis, edema of the limbs and genitalia, and tropical pulmonary eosinophilia.[4]
