BackgroundSparganosis, a rare and severe parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Spirometra species or simply sparganum, generally involves subcutaneous tissue or muscle. But occasionally, sparganum can also invade the human brain, resulting in cerebral sparganosis.Case presentationA 33-year-old woman presented with a 10-day history of headache...

Advances in microfabrication allow for highly sensitive calorimeters with dramatically reduced volume, decreased response time and increased energy resolution. These calorimeters hold the potential for designs of ELISA platforms competitive with fluorescent and chemiluminescent technologies. We have developed a new assay platform using conventional...

West Nile virus (WNV) is a zoonotic flavivirus whose transmission cycle in nature includes wild birds as amplifying hosts and ornithophilic mosquito vectors. Bridge vectors can transmit WNV to mammal species potentially causing West Nile Fever. Wild bird migration is a mode of WNV introduction into new areas. The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDB...

The development of analytical techniques to study therapeutic monoclonal antibodies is expected to be useful for pharmacokinetic analysis and for the development of therapeutic indexes to determine dosage standards. To date, the blood concentration of antibody drugs has been analyzed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, with t...

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are widespread among mammals and birds and known for their potential for cross-species transmission. In cats, infections with feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) are common. Several non-feline coronaviruses have been reported to infect feline cells as well as cats after experimental infection, supported by their ability to engage the ...

The described cases represent the first use of urine as an antemortem, non-invasive specimen to diagnose microcystin toxicosis. Antemortem diagnostic testing to confirm MC intoxication cases, whethe...

BackgroundIn Poland, the leader in goose production in Europe, goose parovirus infection, or Derzsy’s disease (DD), must be reported to the veterinary administration due to the serious economic and epizootic threat to waterfowl production. Prophylactic treatment for DD includes attenuated live or inactivated vaccines. Moreover, the control of DD in...

G). Most foodborne intoxications are caused by serotypes BoNT/A and BoNT/B. BoNT/E outbreaks are most often observed in northern coastal regions and are associated with eating contaminated marine animals and other fishery products. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed for the detection of BoNT/E3. Monoclonal antibodie...

IntroductionBoth inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) stimulate each other and act together in providing defense against recurrent vulvovaginal infections (RVVI). Both processes are in such a tight link, that defect in one may lead to defect in other; therefore, recognition and treatment of primary anomaly are of great clinical importance.Objecti...

The structure of hapten determines the performance of the antibody and the corresponding detection method. A new type of antigen was designed and synthesized to expose the spatial and characteristic structure of dinotefuran molecule, and a type of high-quality antibody was obtained. The IC50 value of the monoclonal antibody was 5.30 ng/mL and its c...
