  abstract = {{T}he sensitivity of a previously described polymerase chain reaction ({PCR}) assay was improved to detect a single mosquito, infected by as few as 1-2 microfilariae of #{W}uchereria bancrofti$, among 20-50 uninfected mosquitoes. {W}ild-caught #{A}edes polynesiensis$ were used to compare assessment of infection by dissection of individuals with the {PCR} assay of pools of mosquitoes. {T}he {PCR} assay was at least as sensitive as dissection for detection of mosquitoes infected with #{W}. bancrofti$.
