risk factors for cryptosporidium diarrhea in early childhood: a case-control study from guinea-bissau, west africa.	cryptosporidium is increasingly recognized as an important agent of diarrhea in normal and immunocompromised humans. in young children in developing countries the parasite is a cause of persistent diarrhea with an associated excess mortality. to elucidate possible determinants of cryptosporidiosis, an open cohort of young children from a semiurban area of the capital of guinea-bissau was followed for 2 years. data about possible risk factors were recorded each month, and a nested case-control st ...	1994	8166134

[indirect immunoenzyme method for the laboratory diagnosis of lassa and ebola hemorrhagic fevers].	conditions for performing solid-phase indirect enzyme-immunoassay (speia) for the detection of lassa and ebola virus antigens and antibodies to them using horseradish peroxidase-labeled antispecific globulins were developed. the method is highly sensitive, specific, and reproducible. by this method, antigens of lassa and ebola viruses could be detected in tissue culture fluid of the infected cell cultures and in animal organ suspensions. detection of antibodies to lassa and ebola viruses in huma ...	1986	3524001
