Seroepidemiological surveys are epidemiological studies carried out by the use of serum tests to detect infection; they can be applied to infections in general and to vaccine-preventable diseases in particular. Among other applications, seroepidemiological studies are useful for determining groups at risk for a specific disease; evaluating transmission mechanisms; and determining population gro...

A cultivable human rotavirus, Wa, was propagated in MA-104 cells and used as an antigen in immune adherence hemagglutination (IAHA) and complement fixation (CF) tests. IAHA antibody titers of sera from normal humans were found to be eightfold higher than CF antibody titers. The IAHA antibody determination with the Wa antigen is considered to be especially useful for the seroepidemiological stud...

in this study which has been carried out from 1996 until 1997 soluble latex agglutination antigen was prepared from L, donovani,sudan(s-1) by culturing in special media,harvesting,and later solubilizing by freezing and thawing.the antigen were futher prepared by high speed centrifugation.after measurement of the protein (lowry method) concentration of the antigen was set at 2.2 mg/ml,the antige...

I received Iranian Journal of Parasitology (Volume 6 (4), Oct-Dec 2011). I have seen an article in pages 51-58 titled "Molecular and Seroepidemiological Survey of Visceral Leishmaniasis among Humans and Domestic Dogs in Mazandaran Province, North of Iran ". I think this title needs to be revised, because this study was done in two limited districts of the central zone of Mazandaran (Semeskandeh...

Intensive epidemiological and seroepidemiological studies of Trichinella spiralis infection in swine have been carried out in the borough of Kladovo, one of the four regions in Yugoslavia where trichinellosis is endemic. A high prevalence (4.7%) of trichinellosis was discovered in three neighboring parishes adjoining the bank of the river Danube. Both geographically and epidemiologically these ...
