Diagnostic accuracy of five serologic tests for Strongyloides stercoralis infection. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) infection is hampered by the suboptimal sensitivity of fecal-based tests. Serological methods are believed to be more sensitive, although assessing their accuracy is difficult ...

Performance of molecular and serologic tests for the diagnosis of scrub typhus. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2020 Diagnosis of scrub typhus, caused by the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi, is challenging because of the overlap of its non-specific symptoms with other infections coupled with the lack of sufficient data on the performance of diagnostic tests.

Production of high-quality SARS-CoV-2 antigens: Impact of bioprocess and storage on glycosylation, biophysical attributes, and ELISA serologic tests performance. [PDF]
Biotechnol Bioeng, 2021 Serological assays are valuable tools to study SARS‐CoV‐2 spread and, importantly, to identify individuals that were already infected and would be potentially immune to a virus reinfection.

Accuracy of five serologic tests for the follow up of Strongyloides stercoralis infection. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2015 Background Traditional faecal-based methods have poor sensitivity for the detection of S. stercoralis, therefore are inadequate for post-treatment evaluation of infected patients who should be carefully monitored to exclude the persistence of the ...
