Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against Fasciola gigantica excretory-secretory (ES) antigens were developed from BALB/c mice. Four were selected for further study, from the panel of hybridomas. The antigen specificities of these MAbs were characterized and localized by enzyme-linked immunoeletrotransfer blot (EITB) and immunoperoxidase technique. The target epitopes of these MAbs are 66 k...

Automatic Indexing of Broadcast News is a developing research area of great recent interest [1]. This paper describes the development steps for designing an automatic index system of broadcast news for both Basque and Spanish. This application requires of appropriate Language Resources to design all the components of the system. Nowadays, large and well-defined resources can be found in most wi...

Abstract Comparable corpora can benefit the development of Neural Machine Translation models, in particular for under-resourced languages. We present a case study centred on exploitation large comparable corpus Basque-Spanish, created from independently-produced news by Basque public broadcaster eitb , where we evaluate impact different techniques to exploit original data, order complement para...

Sera obtained from human patients, calves, sheep, and rabbits infected with Fasciola hepatica were tested by the Falcon assay screening test enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (FAST-ELISA) and the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) techniques with Fasciola hepatica excretory-secretory antigens in order to evaluate their immunodiagnostic potential. The study included sera from 13 pat...

Taenia solium is a cestode parasite that causes cysticercosis in both humans and pigs. A serological survey was undertaken to assess the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with porcine cysticercosis in the rural district of Morropon, Peru. Pigs aged between 2 and 60 months were assessed by the Enzyme-linked Immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) assay to determine their serological status ag...

A group of 132 Brazilians was in Mozambique (Africa) on July and November 1994, participated in peace a mission by United Nations Organization (UNO), in an endemic area for Schistosoma mansoni (Sm) and Schistosoma haematobium (Sh) and they swum in Licungo river during leisure time. We examined 87 individuals, all of them were male and their arithmetic age was 31 year. They presented signals and...

UNLABELLED Although not considered as an endemic region, the Northeast of Brazil has the necessary conditions for the development of taeniasis-cysticercosis complex. In a previous paper, we demonstrated that Mulungu do Morro municipality, in the State of Bahia, has a high seroprevalence to cysticercosis in epileptic patients. OBJECTIVE to determine the prevalence of taeniasis and positive cys...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible use of Biomphalaria alexandrina snail antigens in diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni using enzyme linked immunolectrotransfere blot (EITB). METHODS S. mansoni adult worm crude antigens (AWA), feet and visceral humps of B. alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus were used. Hyperimmune mice sera (HIS) versus each antigen were prepared fo...
