molecular diagnosis of viral infections
context: detection of causative pathogen is crucial for treatment strategies in most infections. molecular diagnosis as a more sensitive and specific method, has become the best option to investigate certain pathogens, mainly viruses. recent scientific and technological approaches resulted in changing the area of diagnostic microbiology. evidence acquisition: a comprehensive online search of da...
متن کاملHuman Cytomegalovirus: Infections and Diagnosis
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous virus whose sole host is humans. Since HCMV can contagion from person to person through numerous ways, vast populations of humans are infected. HCMV infections can potentially have a range from asymptomatic infection in immuno-competent hosts to life-threatening diseases in organ recipients and patients with AIDS. The present article reviews the occu...
متن کاملDiagnosis of infections with Leishmania infantum using PCR-ELISA.
On the basis of partial amplification of a cloned fragment of kDNA of Leishmania infantum which is specific for this species, we developed a PCR-ELISA technique which avoids the problems associated with classical diagnostic techniques. This technique was tested on 33 L. infantum strains from 19 different zymodemes, which were recognized equally. It was also used on human and canine clinical sam...
متن کاملEvolutionary genetics and molecular diagnosis of Leishmania species.
An extensive study has been performed on various natural populations of Leishmania from the 'Old' and 'New Worlds' using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and random amplification of polymorphic deoxyribonucleic acid. The data are interpreted in evolutionary genetic terms in order to give a firm basis to studies dealing with the relevant medical properties of pathogens. We confirm that Leishman...
متن کاملAn Overview on Leishmania Diagnosis
Leishmaniasis is now accounted as a health problem and categorized as a class I disease (emerging and uncontrolled) by World Health Organization (WHO), causing highly significant morbidity and mortality with different clinical presentations. The incidence of human leishmaniasis is increasing and its geographic distribution in humans and animals is shown to be wider than estimated before. Indeed...
