Blood Monocyte Functions Altered in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is characterized by the slow degeneration of the neurons in brain due to the abnormal accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein. This leads to the patients shaking and then to the slow, stiff movements which many people associate with the disease. More...15 Oct 2019

Molecular Changes Associated with Treating Lymphatic Filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a disabling neglected tropical disease that is caused by the mosquito-borne filarial parasites Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. timori. Adult worms live in the human host’s lymphatic system and release larval parasites (microfilariae or Mf) that circulate in the blood. More...09 Oct 2019

Immunochromatographic Strip Test Developed for Rift Valley Fever
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an emerging mosquito-borne disease that affects a wide range of animals and human beings in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. A rapid and specific test for RVF diagnosis at the site of a suspected outbreak is crucial for the implementation of control measures. More...03 Oct 2019


Early Diagnosis of Tularemia Accomplished by Flow Cytometry
Tularemia is a zoonotic disease that occurs in the Northern Hemisphere and is caused by Francisella tularensis. In Europe, more than 500 cases are reported annually and Turkey and the USA also have substantial disease burdens. More...02 Oct 2019

Multiplexed Immunoassay System Differentiates Malaria Species
Over 40% of world’s population live in malaria-endemic areas, and malaria is found in more than 100 countries in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Western Pacific, and parts of Europe. More...02 Oct 2019

Commercial TB Test Compared to Recombinant Allergen Skin Test
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and the primary cause of death due to any single infectious agent. In 2017, approximately 10 million people developed TB, and 1.3 million died from the disease. More...27 Sep 2019
