Update on rapid diagnostic testing for malaria.
To help mitigate the expanding global impact of malaria, with its associated increasing drug resistance, implementation of prompt and accurate diagnosis is needed. Malaria is diagnosed predominantly by using clinical criteria, with microscopy as the current gold standard for detecting parasitemia, even though it is clearly inadequate in many health care settings. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) h...
متن کاملApplication of Molecular Diagnostic Techniques for Viral Testing
Nucleic acid amplification techniques are commonly used currently to diagnose viral diseases and manage patients with this kind of illnesses. These techniques have had a rapid but unconventional route of development during the last 30 years, with the discovery and introduction of several assays in clinical diagnosis. The increase in the number of commercially available methods has facilitated t...

One of the newer discoveries in equine acute gastrointestinal disorders has been the increase in reports of coronavirus disease in horses. (Costa et al. 2012) Risk factors, duration of fecal shedding (there is nasal shedding in <50% of cases), and methods of spread are still unknown. What is apparent is that adult horses are commonly affected in many areas of the United States. Anorexia, fever,...
متن کاملInfectious Disease Update-2009
Closely related to Bordetella pertussis, the cause of “whooping cough” in humans, Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram negative, aerobic coccobacillus particularly well adapted to colonize the ciliated respiratory epithelium of dogs and cats. Today, this organism is regarded as the principle etiologic agent of canine infectious tracheobronchitis (ITB). In the clinical setting, however, B. bronch...
