herpestes auropunctatus as a new reservoir host of trichinella spiralis in iran

a new reservoir host of trichinella was identified as: herpestes auropunctatus, (mangoose) in province of khuzestan, south west of iran. wild swine, brown bear jackal and wild cat have been reported as natural host for trichinella so far. the larvae obtained from the mongoose was infective for rat and white mouse, but the latter was more sensitive comparatively (this study was carried out in th...

Validation of a β-ME ELISA for Detection of Anti Leishmania donovani Antibodies in Eastern Sudan

Background: A β-mercaptoethnol (β-ME)-treated promastigote antigen of L. donovani was successfully employed in direct agglutination test (DAT) for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Objective: The β-ME-treated antigen was further incorporated into an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay set-up (β-ME ELISA) and evaluated for VL diagnosis against outcome of reference freeze-dried DAT (FD-...

Infectivity of Trichinella Spiralis Larvae

Time of survival and infectivity of Trichinella spiralis larvae in pig muscle tissue, buried at various depths in the ground were assessed. In the pork pieces the number of infective larvae was 250 ML/g. Meat originated from pig halves was divided in 39 equal pieces, 0.7 kg each, disposed in three groups of 1 3, and buried in depths of 30, 50, and 100 centimeters respectively. The pork was dug ...

Designing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of anti-penicillin antibodies levels in various species of animals in Khuzestan province, Iran

The penicillin allergy is being increasingly recognized as a significant public health problem. Immunological responses to penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics are classified as immediate and non-immediate responses. This research aimed to develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of the reactive antibody value against penicillin in various species of animals...
