Banding pattern indicative of echinococcosis in a commercial cysticercosis western blot
OBJECTIVE A commercial cysticercosis Western blot was evaluated for serological cross-reactivity of sera from patients with alveolar (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE). METHODS A total of 161 sera were examined, including 31 sera from AE-patients, 11 sera from CE- patients, 9 sera from patients with other parasitic diseases and 109 sera from patients with unrelated medical conditions. All AE...
متن کاملAnalysis of antibody responses by commercial western blot assay in horses with alveolar echinococcosis.
Commercial western blot (WB) assay was used to detect serum antibodies specific to Echinococcus multilocularis in 23 horses in which infection was confirmed by postmortem inspection at a slaughterhouse. Livers contained from 1 to >20 nodular lesions; foci diameter ranged from 1 to 25 mm. Antibody tests of serum from all 23 animals were negative for antigen bands at 7, 16, 18, and 26-28 kDa, whi...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of Western blot method in patients with cystic echinococcosis.
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is the larval cystic stage (called echinococcal cysts) of a small taeniid-type tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus). Carnivores such as dogs are usually definitive hosts. Intermediate hosts are typically herbivores such as sheep and cattle. CE can be detected using various imaging techniques such as ultrasonography or radiology. Moreover the primary diagnosis has to be ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Western Blot
Inquiries about various issues relating to Western blot (WB) testing are frequently posted to the Lyme disease discussion groups on the Internet. Among the most commonly asked questions are: What laboratory techniques are used to carry out the assay? What exactly is being measured? What is a “band”? How are the results interpreted? What are the CDC criteria for a “positive” test? Although some ...
متن کاملProgress in diagnosis, treatment and elimination of echinococcosis and cysticercosis.
Here I review the current status of geographical occurrence and public health significance of echinococcosis (Echinococcus spp. infections) and cysticercosis (Taenia solium infection) with special emphasis on the remarkable technologic progress achieved in recent decades that has led to greater understanding of the biology and epidemiology of these cestode infections. The greatest remaining cha...
