Multicomponent Chimeric Antigen for Serodiagnosis of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT In this work, we describe the assembly of a synthetic gene coding for several antigenic determinants found in different Leishmania infantum antigens. Selected epitopes were derived from the ribosomal proteins LiP2a, LiP2b, and LiP0 and from the histone H2A. The resulting gene was overexpressed in

Detection of canine visceral leishmaniasis by conjunctival swab PCR [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2016
Conjunctival swab PCR was evaluated as a tool to diagnose visceral leishmaniasis in dogs.Conjunctival swab PCR was compared to indirect immunofluorescence antibody test and blood PCR.Indirect immunofluorescence was significantly correlated with conjunctival swab PCR (p < 0.05), but not with blood PCR (p > 0.05).
