| a comparative evaluation of parasitological, serological and dna amplification methods for diagnosis of natural trypanosoma evansi infection in camels. | a representative number of 217 camels (camelus dromedarius) from different areas of western rajasthan state, india, were examined from july 2002 to may 2003 for trypanosoma evansi infection. the tests used were parasitological (wet blood film, wbf; stained thin blood smear, tbs), immunodiagnostic (double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for antigen detection, ag-elisa), and dna amplification by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). these techniques were compared and the best effici ... | 2004 | 15567041 |
| camel trypanosomosis in rajasthan, india. | blood samples from 240 camels (camelus dromedarius) were examined for trypanosome infection. of these, 18 (7.50%) were found to be infected using the wet blood giemsa stain technique, while 76 (31.66%) camels were found to be positive for trypanosoma evansi antigen using the double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the latter was found to be a more useful method for the detection of current infection. | 1993 | 7504363 |
| evaluation of various diagnostic techniques for trypanosoma evansi infections in naturally infected camels. | one hundred and eight camels (camelus dromedarius) from trypanosoma evansi endemic areas of the thar desert of rajasthan state, india, were evaluated by various diagnostic tests including parasitological tests (wet blood film-wbf, stained thick blood film), chemical test (mercuric chloride), biological test (mouse subinoculation-msi), and immunodiagnostic tests based on antibody detection (double immunodiffusion test-did, card agglutination test-catt), antigen detection (double antibody sandwich ... | 1997 | 9187029 |
