Direct agglutination test for diagnosis of Toxoplasma infection: method for increasing sensitivity and specificity [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1980
A method that increases the sensitivity and specificity of the direct agglutination (AG) test for diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection is described. Qualitative results in the Sabin-Feldman dye test (DT) and AG test were in excellent agreement (98%).

Direct agglutination test and other assays for measuring antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1989
The performance of a direct agglutination test for the detection of toxoplasma specific IgG immunoglobulin was compared with that of the latex agglutination test. The direct agglutination test was less sensitive but more specific than the latex agglutination test.

Field Evaluation of rK39 Test and Direct Agglutination Test for Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis in a Population with High Prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Ethiopia [PDF]

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
Accuracy of an rK39 rapid diagnostic test (DiaMed-IT-Leish ) for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was compared with splenic aspiration and the direct agglutination test (DAT) in a population with a high prevalence of infection with human immunodeficiency ...

Evaluation of Direct Agglutination Test, rk39 Test, and ELISA for the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008
The study reports an evaluation of the direct agglutination test (DAT) with use of promastigote/amastigote antigen, rk39 strip test, and ELISA for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Out of 94 clinically suspected VL patients, 16 (17%) were seropositive by all the techniques; in addition, 6 were positive in rk39 strip test and ELISA.

Local Production of a Liquid Direct Agglutination Test as a Sustainable Measure for Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Sudan. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2016
A prerequisite for the control of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the accessibility to reference diagnostics. The high price of the freeze-dried direct agglutination test (FD-DAT) and the short shelf-life time of the rK39 strip test (rK39) have limited ...
