Sheep toxoplasmosis diagnose by ELISA and IFAT

Why prevent, diagnose and treat congenital toxoplasmosis?

Evidence that prevention, diagnosis and treatment of toxoplasmosis is beneficial developed as follows: anti-parasitic agents abrogate Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoite growth, preventing destruction of infected, cultured, mammalian cells and cure active infections in experimental animals, including primates. They treat active infections in persons who are immune-compromised, limit destruction of ret...

Measurement of Epsilon Antitoxin in Sheep Sera by ELISA

Toxoplasmosis in sheep--the last 20 years.

Sheep are important to the economy of many countries because they are a source of food for humans. Sheep are commonly infected with the protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Infection with the parasite may cause early embryonic death and resorption, fetal death and mummification, abortion, stillbirth, and neonatal death. Severity of infection is associated with the stage of pregnancy at which ...

Evaluation of Fast-ELISA versus standard-ELISA to diagnose human fasciolosis.

BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare a fast-ELISA (F-ELISA) method versus standard-ELISA (S-ELISA) to diagnose human fasciolosis. METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 35 individuals infected with fasciolosis, 27 infected with other parasitoses and 22 from healthy people. The samples were examined with S-ELISA (30-minute incubation periods) and F-ELISA (10-min...

SHEEP-AN IMPORTANT RESERVOIR OF HUMAN TOXOPLASMOSIS IN IRAN

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease and ubiquitous in the world. Infection rate in the tropical and subtropical regions with high humidity is higher than other areas. The rate is lower in dry regions whether hot or cold. More than 200 species of warmblooded animals are intermediate hosts and cats or members of the carnivore family Felidae have been found to be definitive hosts.' In Iran in...
