Improvement of a direct agglutination test for field studies of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1988 To increase the potential for the wide-scale application of our direct agglutination test for visceral leishmaniasis, modifications in the components and procedures were introduced. Supplementation with 0.056 M citrate of the suspension medium stabilized the antigen for 9 weeks at 37 degrees C. To circumvent the need for cooling systems in the field, 0.

DIRECT AGGLUTINATION TEST WITH URINE SAMPLES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2004 A new direct agglutination test (DAT) for use with urine samples for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been developed and compared with the conventional DAT with serum samples and our previously reported enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with urine samples (urine ELISA).

Modified Direct Agglutination Test for Simplified Serologic Diagnosis of Leishmaniasis
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2003 ABSTRACT Human leishmaniasis is a severe health problem in many countries around the world. Hence, a cheap, reliable, and accurate diagnostic test is required to fight this disease. Perhaps the direct agglutination test (DAT) meets these criteria, but antigen elaboration involves many difficulties. We have developed a new antigen

Rapid detection of Leishmania infantum infection in dogs: a comparative study using fast agglutination screening test (FAST) and direct agglutination test (DAT) in Iran [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2009 Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is not only a veterinary problem but has also a serious public health importance. Rapid detection of CVL is highly important for control of human visceral leishmaniasis in Iran. This study was aimed to compare the fast agglutination screening test (FAST) with direct agglutination test (DAT) as a standard serological ...
