Immunology and Immunodiagnosis of Cystic Echinococcosis: An Update
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a cosmopolitan zoonosis caused by the larval cystic stage of the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. This complex multicellular pathogen produces various antigens which modulate the host immune response and promote parasite survival and development. The recent application of modern molecular and immunological approaches has revealed novel insights on the nature o...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of recombinant parasite antigens for immunodiagnosis of onchocerciasis.
Immunological cross-reactivity among nematodes has hampered the development of specific serodiagnostic assays for onchocerciasis. In the present study, an Onchocerca volvulus adult worm complementary DNA expression library was differentially screened with human sera from patients infected with O. volvulus and with an omnibus anti-nematode serum pool comprised of sera from patients infected with...
متن کاملRecombinant cDNA clones for immunodiagnosis of strongyloidiasis.
Because diagnosis of strongyloidiasis by stool examination is unreliable and because of the potential for serious disease in Strongyloides infections, there is need for improved diagnostic aids to facilitate recognition and treatment of this parasitic infection. Serologic testing, when available, requires antigen preparation from infected primates or dogs that can be difficult to maintain. Seve...
متن کاملNegative-ELISA using native and filtrated cystic fluid antigens to rule out cystic echinococcosis.
An increasing number of cases of echinococcosis in Thailand have been imported, probably native infections and medical transfers. Serodiagnosis is one diagnostic choice for interpreting infections before a further step is done. Due to limited antigen, indirect ELISA has been used as a negative screening test for IgG-detection to rule out echinococcosis. Native hydatid cystic fluid (HCF) antigen...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of cystic echinococcosis.
Echinococcus granulosus exhibits substantial genetic diversity that has important implications for the design and development of vaccines, diagnostic reagents and drugs effective against this parasite. DNA approaches that have been used for accurate identification of these genetic variants are presented here as is a description of their application in molecular epidemiological surveys of cystic...
