چکیده
A glycophospholipid (GPL) antigen isolated from Plasmodium falciparum culture supernatant has been tested for its antigenicity. Detection of malaria positive known blood samples and unknown field samples from endemic and non-endemic areas were compared. In this study laser light scattering immunoassay (LIA) was used for the detection of P. falciparum malaria. Test results of control (malaria negative samples from Surat) were compared with known positive samples and unknown malaria positive field samples. A positive correlation has been observed (97%) in falciparum positive samples from laboratory and unknown samples from endemic area (Haldwani) by LIA method using GPL antigen. From the results of the study it was found that GPL antigen has a better antigenic property and can detect almost all the cases of Pf malaria by LIA method.

capture ELISA system was developed for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) using a monoclonal antibody raised against an antigen previously detected in the urine of VL patients. Urine samples from confirmed VL cases from Yemen, Nepal, Spain, Sudan and Brazil were tested in the capture ELISA in comparison with urine samples from endemic and non-endemic areas along with urine samples from pa...
متن کاملMolecular Evidence on Changing Pattern of Mixed Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax Infections during Year-Round Transmission of Malaria in Chahbahar, Iran
Mixed malaria infections, Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, are suspected to occur at a greater frequency than is detected by conventional light microscopy. In order to determine the year round pattern of transmission and the frequency of mixed infections in malaria endemic area, we carried out a prospective comparison of diagnosis by conventional light microscopy and nested PCR in Chahbahar ...
متن کاملسیر مقاومت داروئی مالاریا در ایران طی سال های 80-1362
One of the main problems in malaria control is the resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine and some other antimalarial drugs. This resistance is now quite common in most regions where falciparum malaria is endemic. Between 1968 and 1976, two in-vivo studies were carried out in endemic areas in the south of Iran and they showed P. falciparum to be chloroquine-sensitive. In 1983, the D...

Introduction: In the past 10 years, a declining trend was seen in the annual parasite incidence (API) of malaria in the Car Nicobar Island. For the past few years, the API in the island has been below one. Car Nicobar Island is struggling with malaria cases reported to have been brought from other, malaria-endemic islands. Methods: The movements of people...
