Latex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
A resurgence of interest in Toxoplasma gondii has occurred because this coccidian parasite causes lethal infections in immunologically compromised hosts and is responsible for at least 3,000 congenitally infected infants in the United States annually. Thus, rapid, specific, and inexpensive serologic tests are required for routine screening of patients, especially pregnant women. We have develop...

متن کاملDetection of Mycoplasma agalactiae in Small Ruminants of Southeast Iran
Agalactia is an infectious and contagious disease of small ruminants caused by Mycoplasma agalactiae (M. agalactiae). Although different microorganism strains contribute to this disease, M. agalactiae is known as the most prominent causative agent. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the rate of M. agalactiae involvement in contagious agalactia in the southeast region of Iran. Sampling ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Different Toxoplasma gondii Isolates as Antigens Used in the Modified Agglutination Test for the Detection of Toxoplasmosis in Camels and Donkeys
Different isolates of Toxoplasma gondii (RH, equine, camel and sheep) strain were evaluated when used as antigens in the modified agglutination test (MAT) for the detection of antibodies to T. gondii in sera of slaughtered camels and donkeys from Egypt. The camel and sheep strains of T. gondii revealed a higher prevalence of toxoplasmosis in camels (30.7 and 27.3%) than that showed by RH and eq...
