Seroprevalence of cysticercosis in Bénin

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1998
We report the results of a seroepidemiological study on the prevalence of cysticercosis in Bénin. Cluster sampling at 3 levels was performed in the 6 départements (Atacora, Borgou, Zou, Mono, Atlantique and Oueme) and 2625 serum samples, from 1329 adult females and 1296 adult males, were collected. Antibodies against Taenia solium cysticerci were first

The seroprevalence of cystic hydatidosis in Oman

Annals of Tropical Medicine And Parasitology, 1999
The presence of antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus in sera from 306 humans and 390 camels in Oman was investigated by indirect haemagglutination assays. Only one of the human and five of the camel sera gave positive reactions. The reactivities of the human sera were confirmed by ELISA.

Seroprevalence of Chlamydia pneumoniae in Taiwan

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993
Chlamydia pneumoniae (TWAR) is a relatively newly discovered respiratory tract pathogen which was first isolated in Taiwan. In order to describe the seroepidemiology of C. pneumoniae in Taiwan, we evaluated 1,085 stored serum samples: 904 from patients, 97 from umbilical cord blood samples, and 84 from medical personnel at the Veterans General Hospital-

Seroprevalence of human metapneumovirus in Japan

Journal of Medical Virology, 2003
AbstractA new human pneumovirus, provisionally designated human metapneumovirus, was discovered by Dutch researchers. We examined 142 serum samples from the general population aged from 1 month to 35 years in Japan for human metapneumovirus antibody by indirect immunofluorescence assays using human metapneumovirus‐infected monkey kidney cells.

Hepatitis A Seroprevalence Rate in Syria

Tropical Doctor, 2000
Hepatitis A is a benign infection, which in the developing world affects mainly children; the majority of adults are immune by the age of 30. In the last decade or so, a shift in the prevalence pattern of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection from a low- to a high-age group has appeared in the developed countries.

Seroprevalence of toxocariasis in schoolchildren in Trinidad

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2002
The seroprevalence of toxocariasis was investigated in 1997/98 in 1009 schoolchildren (aged 5-12 years) throughout Trinidad. Infection, as measured by titre, was found to be high compared to values obtained from children in other countries. Using an excretory-secretory antigen and performing an ELISA test, it was found that 62.3% of children had an IgG

Seroprevalence of bovine Anaplasmosis in Georgia

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2019
Anecdotally, Veterinary Feed Directive prescriptions in many states in the southeastern United States (U.S.) are written most often for treatment and prevention of bovine anaplasmosis (BA). This tick-borne disease of cattle caused by Anaplasma marginale remains an economically important disease in U.S. However, there are no prevalence estimates of this
