Serological diagnosis of tropical canine pancytopenia by indirect immunofluorescence.
An indirect fluorescent-antibody test for detection and titration of antibodies to Ehrlichia canis, the causative agent of tropical canine pancytopenia, has been described. The organism propagated by an in vitro technique in canine blood monocytes served as an antigen in the test. The specificity of the test was revealed by absence of cross-reactivity between the antigen and sera from dogs infe...
متن کاملSerological diagnosis of amoebiasis by immunofluorescence.
A positive serological diagnosis of amoebiasis could be made by immunofluorescence in 66 of 78 established cases, taking a serum titre of 16 or higher as diagnostic: at this level there were no false positives among 94 control sera. The test is simple and may be carried out on amoebic smears stored for several months in 2-octanol. The serological activity is largely confined to the IgG immunogl...
متن کاملSerological detection of Capillaria hepatica by indirect immunofluorescence assay.
In this paper, a serological assay for the detection of antibodies to Capillaria hepatica, a zoonotic parasite, is described. In the past, the only way of detecting Capillaria hepatica was to perform a liver biopsy. The indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay, based on liver sections of naturally infected mice and human serum samples, is suitable for detecting early stages of human infections a...
متن کاملShort report: improved diagnosis and follow-up of canine leishmaniasis using amastigote-based indirect immunofluorescence.
A comparison of an indirect immunofluorescence test using promastigotes (IFATp) or cultured amastigotes (IFATa) in the diagnosis and follow-up of canine leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum was carried out. Results obtained with both diagnostic methods were in good agreement although the IFATa titration was more sensitive than the currently used IFATp without losing specificity. The high...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of an Elisa Test and an Indirect Immunofluorescence Test for Serological Diagnosis of Babesia Bovis Infection
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF AN ELISA TEST AND AN INDIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE TEST FOR SEROLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF BABESIA BOVIS INFECTION. Detection of antibodies to Babesia bovis in cattle is essential for the understanding of the epidemiology of babesiosis and this study was concerned with comparing the indirect fluorescent antibody with the ELISA. Both assays gave rise to 100% sensitivity whilst the...
