Early definitive diagnosis of dengue virus infection may help in the timely management of dengue virus infection. We evaluated the Standard Diagnostics (SD, South Korea) dengue virus nonstructural protein NS1 antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SD dengue NS1 Ag ELISA) for the detection of dengue virus NS1 antigen in patients' sera, using a total of 399 serum samples in a comparison with ...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate efficacy Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), immunochromatographic (ICG), and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods for detection rotavirus (RV) bovine coronavirus (BCV). Feces samples were collected from 90 diarrhoeic calves (male female) up one month age immune response against RV BCV infection assessed by usin...

background and objectives: pcr is a sensitive assay and could be used as an accurate diagnostic method for detecting various types of microorganisms' genome in low concentration in biological specimens. the demand for sensitive, rapid, safe and easy detection of pcr products has led researchers to a combination of this method with elisa. materials and methods: conserved sequences were selected ...

background salmonella continues to be a major food borne pathogen for animals and humans. a sensitive and specific pcr–elisa technique was developed to detect salmonella typhi. materials and methods the assay was based on the incorporation of digoxigenin-labeled dutp and a biotin-labeled primers specific for rfbe gene during pcr amplification. the labeled pcr products were bound to streptoavidi...

Plant diseases caused by numerous pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi are responsible for substantial economic losses in the agricultural industry worldwide. Specific, sensitive, efficient diagnostic tools have been developed worldwide to mitigate prevent pathogenic threat. The revolutionized from classical methods more advanced molecular approaches enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ...

Outbreaks of the Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) have caused significant losses in many rice-growing areas Vietnam, especially both North and Central Vietnam recent years. To detect virus, traditional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methodology immunoassays are currently employed. RT-PCR is accurate but requires expensive chemicals instruments, as well...

BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a major risk factor for the development of tuberculosis (TB). In India, Melghat is among the tribal regions which consist of highest number of malnutrition cases. Because of the paucity of TB data from these malnourished areas there is an urgent need for the development and evaluation of improved TB diagnostic tests. In the present study, three in house developed diag...

BACKGROUND The ability to sensitively detect Vibrio cholera with PCR-ELISA method represents a considerable advancement over alternative more time-consuming methods for detection of this pathogen. The aim of this research is to evaluate the suitability of a PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for sensitive and rapid detection of V. cholera O1. METHODS The 398-bp sequence of a gene that code...
