چکیده
Cats are the only definitive hosts of Toxoplasma gondii and constitute an essential source of infection to all warm blooded animals and humans. Diagnosis of T. gondii infection in cats is fundamental for proper management and control of infection in humans and animals. In the current study, we have evaluated the diagnostic performance of tachyzoite lysate antigen (TLA) and different T. gondii recombinant antigens including surface antigen 2 (SAG2), dense granule proteins 2, 6, 7, 15 (GRA2, GRA6, GRA7, GRA15) and microneme 10 protein (MIC10) in immunoglobulin G enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay (IgG ELISA) using cat serum samples, with reference to latex agglutination test (LAT). Remarkably, TLA showed better performance than other recombinant antigens in IgG ELISAs as compared to LAT, with concordance and Kappa values of 94.27% and 0.93, respectively. Furthermore, to improve the reactivity of the recombinant antigens, we have developed IgG ELISAs using different combinations with these recombinant antigens. Strikingly, a combination of SAG2 and GRAs has relatively similar performance as TLA evidenced by concordance and Kappa values of 94.27% and 0.81, respectively. The developed ELISA with a combination of recombinant antigens can be used as a promising diagnostic tool for routine testing of T. gondii infection and mass screening in cats. The major advantages of this assay are the high sensitivity and specificity, lower cost, safer production and easiness of standardization in various laboratories worldwide.

Application of Recombinant Proteins for Serodiagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Humans and Dogs
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic disease caused by leishmania species. Dogs are considered to be the main reservoir of VL. A number of methods and antigen-based assays are used for the diagnosis of leishmaniasis. However, currently available methods are mainly based on direct examination of tissues for the presence of parasites, which is highly invasive. A variety of serological tests ...

Background & Aims: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular parasite, which is widely spread in the world. The parasite is able to infect all warm-blooded hosts including humans and farm animals. The infection in humans often occurs after the ingestion of raw or undercooked meat containing tissue cysts. Several methods have been applied to detect this parasite in contaminated foods. Reco...

Background & Aim: Toxoplasmosis is caused by a protozoan parasite called toxoplasma gondii. SAG1 is an antigen which only exists in tachyzoite stage. This antigen which has two glycoforms is a conformational antigen. The aim of this research is to study cloning of SAG1 gene in PTZ57R and transformation of recombinant plasmid in E.coli(TG1 & DH5a). Material & Method: Tachyzoites of T.gondii ...

Background and purpose: One of the transmission ways of the congenital toxoplasmosis is through the placenta to the fetus, therefore, its diagnosis at early stage is very important. Toxoplasma gondii parasite contains various antigens of which excretory-secretory antigens (E/SA) are used in designing Elisa avidity kit. The aim of this study was to compare the results of commercial kit and desig...
