Cultures were collected to ...

cats play crucial roles in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis. in the present study, a total of 198companion cats of different ages were examined for serum antibodies against toxoplasma gondii byimmunochromatography assay and for oocyst presence in faeces by microscopic examination (flotationmethod) and immunochromatography assay. the cats were selected between referred cases to the veterinary h...

Membrane-based rapid test reagents including immunochromatography are widely used in clinical practice. Recently, high-sensitive based on the method, such as silver amplification method and time resolved fluorescence for influenza testing, has been developed early confirmation of infection can be achieved. Furthermore, genetic automated all steps from extraction till detection, is getting popul...
