Recombinant protein- and synthetic peptide-based immunoblot test for diagnosis of neurocysticercosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)
One of the most well-characterized tests for diagnosing neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) assay developed at the CDC, which uses lentil lectin-bound glycoproteins (LLGP) extracted ...
Epidemiology of taeniasis and cysticercosis in a Peruvian village. The Cysticercosis Working Group in Peru
(Oxford University Press, 1992)
To determine the prevalence of cysticercosis in a rural area where the disease is endemic, the authors studied the seroepidemiology of human and porcine cysticercosis in a Peruvian jungle community (Maceda, Peru) in 1988 ...
Humoral response of paracoccidioidomycosis sera in hamsters with different Venezuelan isolates
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2009)
Evaluation of cross-reactivity to Taenia hydatigena and Echinococcus granulosus in the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot assay for the diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis
(BioMed Central, 2019)
BACKGROUND: Taenia solium is an important zoonotic parasite that infects humans as definitive host (taeniasis) and pigs as intermediate host (cysticercosis). Serological diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis is limited to ...
Trypomastigote Excretory Secretory Antigen Blot Is Associated with Trypanosoma cruzi Load and Detects Congenital T. cruzi Infection in Neonates, Using Anti-Shed Acute Phase Antigen Immunoglobulin M
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background: Congenital Trypanosoma cruzi infection accounts for an estimated 22% of new cases of Chagas disease in Latin America. However, neonatal diagnosis is challenging, as 9-month follow-up for immunoglobulin G testing ...
Immunoblot (western blot) and double diffusion (DD5) tests for hydatid disease cross-react with sera from patients with cysticercosis
(Oxford University Press, 1992)
The current methods of serological diagnosis of hydatidosis include the detection of an antigen-antibody...

(Brazilian College of Veterinary Parasitology, 2019-04)
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of infection by Sarcocystis neurona in horses and identifypotential risk factors. Were analyzed 427 samples from 36 farms in 21 municipalities in the Alagoas State, ...
Regulatory T cell expansion resolves after effective strongyloidiasis treatment in subjects with HTLV-1 co-infection
(Elsevier, 2020)
BACKGROUND: Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are increased in patients with HTLV-1/Strongyloides stercoralis co-infection, and they may modify otherwise protective antigen-specific cytokine production. We hypothesized that ...

Emerging infections: mimickers of common patterns seen in dermatopathology
(Springer, 2020)
The following discussion deals with three emerging infection diseases that any dermatopathologist working in the northern hemisphere can come across. The first subject to be dealt with is gnathostomiasis. This parasitic ...
