Effect of biannual azithromycin distribution on antibody responses to malaria, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens in Niger [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Abstract The MORDOR trial in Niger, Malawi, and Tanzania found that biannual mass distribution of azithromycin to children younger than 5 years led to a 13.5% reduction in all-cause mortality (NCT02048007). To help elucidate the mechanism for mortality reduction, we report IgG responses to 11 malaria, bacterial ...

Use of Phage Antibodies to Distinguish Closely Related Species of Protozoan Parasites [PDF]
Disease Markers, 2000 Acanthamoeba are typically identified in the laboratory using culture and microscopic observation. In this paper we describe the isolation and specificity of antibody fragments that can be used for the identification of Acanthamoeba. A phage library expressing a large repertoire (approx.

IgG Antibody responses in mice coinfected with Toxocara canis and other helminths or protozoan parasites [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012 The immune response expressed by IgG antibodies in BALB/c mice experimentally infected with Toxocara canis, was studied with the aim of verifying the possible in vivo cross-reactivity between antigens of T. canis and other parasites (Ascaris suum, Taenia crassiceps, Schistosoma mansoni, Strongyloides venezuelensis and Toxoplasma gondii).
