Re: Filariasis is a Nematode

Your link says: "divided into 3 groups according to the niche within the body that they occupy: Lymphatic Filariasis, Subcutaneous Filariasis, and Serous Cavity Filariasis."

I just obtained a copy of my blood test for filaria. It said I don't have malaria. That is the only thing they tested for.

Since Herne and I live in the same area and our tests go to the same place, that's what hers would be as well. :) They use a standard form for Public Health. There is space for a checkmark. If the box beside "filaria" is checked, the test is malaria. I have several copies of that form here as well as my results and I assure you, they don't check for *anything* else. :( Tweet
