                         filariasis, a tropical disease that represents a serious health 
                         problem in the State of Pernambuco, Northeast of Brazil. The 
                         medical diagnosis of filariasis is made scanning blood samples 
                         under an optical microscope and counting the number of a 
                         microscopic warm, commonly known as microfilariae. The methodology 
                         is based on the theories of Mathematical Morphology and Pattern 
                         Recognition and uses digital microscopic images, with resolution 
                         640x480x64, as inputs. Using a training set with 56 patterns, the 
                         automatic recognition of microfilariaes was performed by a Linear 
                         Discriminant Function with 4 features only, and the automation 
                         viability of this diagnosis was finally confirmed through the 
                         excellent classification results.",
