studies on immunodiagnosis of dracunculiasis. ii. search for circulating antigens.	sera from individuals living in a dracunculiasis endemic area of northern ghana were examined for circulating dracunculus medinensis antigens by applying protocols previously developed for detection of circulating antigens in other helminth infections. antisera from rabbits immunised with homogenized first stage d. medinensis larvae were used for antigen capture and detection in three different forms, namely non-treated, biotinylated and horseradish peroxidase (hrp)-labelled. three different pre ...	1998	9777716
the antibody response to dracunculus medinensis in an endemic human population of northern ghana.	the serum antibody response (total, and isotypes igg1, igg4, igm, iga and ige) to guinea worm infection was examined in humans from a highly endemic area of northern ghana by elisa and sds-page/western blot techniques using an adult d. medinensis antigen. sera were obtained early and late in the peak transmission period, from persons with patent and postpatent infections, as well as from persons from the same endemic area who claimed never to have had guinea worm infection. to observe for potent ...	1993	8509617
