Concordance between Ov16 rapid diagnostic test(RDT) and Ov16 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of onchocerciasis in areas of contrasting endemicity in cameroon

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2023
The diagnosis of onchocerciasis in endemic areas has been demanding given the need to replace the invasive skin snip method with a more sensitive and specific rapid point-of-contact tool. Filarial antigen detection tests are better alternative methods in

Effect of composting on the microbiological and parasitic load in animal production wastes in Brazil

International Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture, 2021
Purpose Animal production wastes are promising for use in agricultural production as a plant nutrient or soil conditioner. However, if not properly managed, they can contaminate the soil and plants, resulting in public health risks. Considering that the composting technique is recommended to ensure compost hygiene and agronomic viability, the present ...
