High Molecular Weight Proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi Reduce Cross-Reaction with Leishmania spp. in Serological Diagnosis Tests
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Because of its distribution throughout Latin America, sometimes it can overlap with other parasitic diseases, such as leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania spp. This might represent a problem when performing serological diagnosis, because both parasites share antigens, resulting in cross-reactions. In the present work we evaluated Mexica...
متن کاملA comparison between serological and molecular tests in diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection among stray cats in Ahvaz, southwestern Iran
Toxoplasma gondii infects all species of warm-blooded animals, including humans, and domestic cats and other felidae are its definitive hosts. The aim of the present survey was to compare serological and molecular tests in accurate diagnosis of T. gondii infection among stray cats in Ahvaz, Iran. A total of 100 cats were examined for the detection of serum antibodies against T. gondii (chronic ...
متن کاملTrypanosoma equiperdum Low Molecular Weight Proteins As Candidates for Specific Serological Diagnosis of Dourine
The diagnosis of dourine can be difficult because the clinical signs of this disease in horses are similar to those of surra, caused by Trypanosoma evansi. Moreover, T. equiperdum and T. evansi are closely related and, so far, they cannot be distinguished using serological tests. In a previous work, the T. equiperdum protein pattern recognized by antibodies from dourine-infected horses and the ...
متن کاملRelation of high molecular weight proteins to the serological reactions in rheumatoid arthritis.
The ability of sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis to potentiate the agglutination of sensitized particulate bodies has been recognized since Cecil, Nicholls, and Stainsby (1931) noted the agglutination of certain strains of streptococci by these sera. More recently this property has been employed as the basis of a number of clinical tests for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The...
متن کاملVisceral leishmaniasis in Iran and the role of serological tests in the diagnosis and epidemiological studies
Kale- azar is known as an endemic doses in some areas of Cars province ( in South) and Ardabil province ( in North- west) of Iran. In other provinces the disease has been reported, mostly, in sporadic from. However since 1949 when the first case of kale- azar was reported in Mazandaran province, to the end of 1993 more than 4300 cases had been diagnosed in at least 113 cities and districts....
