Application of Counter Immunoelectrophoresis (cie) in the Diagnosis of Hydatidosis in Buffaloes

چکیده
A study was undertaken to assess the sensitivity and specificity of Counter Immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) in the diagnosis of hydatidosis in buffaloes using sera samples collected at the time of slaughter. One hundred sera samples from buffaloes were screened for hydatidosis using fertile buffalo hydatid cyst fluid as antigen by CIE. Out of the 100 sera samples used, 61 were positive for hydatid cysts in various organs confirmed on slaughter and the remaining 39 sera were collected randomly from buffaloes without any visible hydatid cysts. Forty six samples were found positive out of the 61 samples screened by CIE with 2 samples found positive out of the 39 samples from buffaloes without any visible hydatid cysts. The sensitivity and specificity of CIE in detecting hydatidosis in buffaloes was found to be 75.41 per cent and 94.8 per cent respectively.

In this study, counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) and latex agglutination (LA) were employed to evaluate rapid detection of streptococcus group B (GBS) specific antigens in sera, urines, CSF and patient's blood cultures of infants suspected of septicemia and meningitidis. Out of 530 specimens which were investigated 73 blood cultures were found to be positive, including 4 (5.5%) specimens from...
متن کاملSerological grouping of hemolytic streptococci by counter-immunoelectrophoresis.
The counter-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) method of grouping streptococci was more sensitive than the capillary precipitin method. The precipitate was easier to read, and the test was simple to perform and required fewer reagents. An autoclave-Pronase-B extraction procedure is described and was found superior to either acid, Pronase-B, or the autoclave extraction procedures for recovering groupab...

Cystic hydatid disease (hydatidosis) is one of the most important zoonosis that is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus . As its diagnosis by clinical symptoms alone is difficult and confusing, serologic diagnostic techniques are used to confirm the disease. These techniques can also be used for epidemiologic studies. The present study was performed with a commercial human en...
متن کاملA serological survey for hydatidosis among buffaloes in Orumia
Hydatid cyst is an important and zoonotic infection caused by cystic stage of Echinococcus granulosus. It is a major and economic problem in most areas of the world that livestock are kept such as Iran. In this study, a total of 111 buffalo,s sera from Center of Buffalo Sperm Preparation (CBSP), Orumia (West Azarbayjan province, Iran, 2003) were examined for the presence of hydatidosis by usin...

The use of Counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) for the detection of pneumococcal capsular antigen in the sputum and serum of patients suffering from acute respiratory infections is described. The CIE of sputum gave positive results in 224 (99%) out of 225 samples in which Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated by cultural techniques, and in 23 (9%) out of 262 samples in which no or other potenti...
