Abstract
Diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis is often delayed owing to patients presenting with nonspecific gastrointestinal complaints, a low parasite load and irregular larval output. Although several diagnostic methods exist to detect the presence of S. stercoralis there is no gold standard. In immunoc...

Abstract
A recombinant glycoprotein (R-GP) of vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus (VSV-NJ) was expressed in insect cells by a baculovirus system. Its utility as a diagnostic antigen in a blocking ELISA was investigated as an alternative to the current native GP extracted from VSV-NJ. With the cut-off value...

Comparison of tuberculin skin testing and T-SPOT.TB for diagnosis of latent and active tuberculosis.
Abstract
The T-SPOT.TB test does not cross-react with Bacille Calmette-Guérin or most non-tuberculosis mycobacterium species, and is based on IFN-gamma responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antigens. The objective of this study was to compare tuberculin skin test (TST) with T-SPOT.TB results used...

We detected 109 parasitemias by real-time PCR and, by pooling samples, obviated over 50% of reactions and halved the cost of testing. Our study highlights both substantial discordance between malaria diagnostics and the utility and parsimony of employing a sample pooling strategy for molecular diagn...

Abstract
Previous studies have reported the increased sensitivity of PCR targeting AF146527 over that of PCR targeting the B1 gene for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. The present study suggests that the AF146527 element was absent in 4.8% of human Toxoplasma gondii-positive samples tested. The data argue that th...
