Modifications in a Reference Freeze-Dried Direct Agglutination Test to Improve Visceral Leishmaniasis Detection. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2020
Currently, a significantly lower temperature (35°C) than initially established (56°C) is indicated as the maximum temperature storage for the commercial reference visceral leishmaniasis (VL) freeze-dried direct agglutination test (FD-DAT). Despite an approximately 50% loss in the number of promastigotes in an FD-DAT batch that expired 7 years earlier ...
