Children treated for acute leukemia are at increased risk of severe infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). We studied the VZV sero-status of children with acute leukemia prior to starting chemotherapy and after completion of chemotherapy. VZV sero-status was assessed using time resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) before starting treatment and 6 months after completion of treatment. ...

368 blood and Carcass randomly sampled from slaughtered animals for detection Toxoplasmosis. The blood samples were examined for existence Infection by serological method (Dye test) and the tissue samples from different parts of carcass including skeletal muscle, diaphragm, heart, liver and lymphnode, which ground in an electric grinder and digested by pepsin. Bioassay technique and inoculated...

Robot viewers are an important tool for robot developers, programmers and users.

I. Of the cases in which a sore was present at the time of examination there were : Sore 1 to 10 days old 10 Positive 5 11 to 20 ? 13 ? 9 21 to 30 ? 44 ? 42 Of the two negative cases one was observed for three months and no symptoms appeared.

To develop the large scale serological assay for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection, we evaluated two different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods using nucleocapsid protein (NP) and Gn proteins of CB1 (genotype B) SFTSV strains. The NP-based ELISA tests showed more sensitive with broad cross-reactivity between two different genotype A and B strai...
