Invited review Giardia duodenalis: Inter-strain variability of proteins, antigens, proteases, isoenzymes and nucleic acids
(1999-12-01)
Giardia duodenalis isolates from asymptomatic or symptomatic patients and from animals present similarities and differences in the protein composition, antigenic profile, pattern of proteases and isoenzymes, as well as in ...

Polyclonal antibodies for the detection of Trypanosoma cruzi circulating antigens
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi antigens in clinical samples is considered an important diagnostic tool for Chagas disease. The production and use of polyclonal antibodies may contribute to an increase in the ...
Patterns of selection on Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte-binding antigens after the colonization of the New World
(Wiley, 2014)
Pathogens, which have recently colonized a new host species or new populations of the same host, are interesting models for understanding how populations may evolve in response to novel environments. During its colonization ...
Detection of Soluble Antigen and DNA of Trypanosoma cruzi in Urine Is Independent of Renal Injury in the Guinea Pig Model
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
The diagnosis of Chagas disease in humans is generally limited to the detection of specific antibodies. Detection of T. cruzi antigens in urine has been reported previously, but is not used in the diagnosis. In this study, ...
Genome-level determination of Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage targets of malarial clinical immunity in the Peruvian Amazon
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Persons with blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia in the absence of symptoms are considered to be clinically immune. We hypothesized that asymptomatic subjects with P. falciparum parasitemia would ...
Colorimetric Detection of Plasmodium vivax in Urine Using MSP10 Oligonucleotides and Gold Nanoparticles
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent cause of human malaria in the world and can lead to severe disease with high potential for relapse. Its genetic and geographic diversities make it challenging to control. P. vivax is ...
