Multiplex Immunoassay Developed for Confirmation and Typing of HTLV Infections
Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Viruses (HTLV) type 1 and type 2 account for an estimated five to 10 million infections worldwide and are transmitted through breast feeding, sexual contacts and contaminated cellular blood components. More...24 Nov 2021
P-O-C Test Detects IgG Antibody in Serodiagnosis of Human Trichinellosis
Trichinellosis is one of the most critical food-borne parasitic zoonoses worldwide. Humans acquire trichinellosis by ingesting raw or undercooked meats containing the infective Trichinella larvae. Adult Trichinella spp. reside in the intestinal tract of the vertebrate host; larvae can be found encapsulated in muscle tissue. More...23 Nov 2021
Breath Test Can Identify COVID-19 in Critically Ill Patients
The coronaviruses known to infect humans generally only caused mild upper respiratory tract infectious symptoms. They are also known to delay the innate immune response to infection, and they have affinity for primary epithelial cells More...17 Nov 2021

Neglected Protists Found in Immunocompetent and Immunodeficient Diarrheal Patients
Diarrhea is one of the most widespread gastrointestinal symptoms and is a common problem in immunosuppressed patients. The spectrum of pathogens that cause diarrhea in immunosuppressed patients is significantly different from those in patients with a normal immune system. More...04 Nov 2021
Immune Chemokines Biomarkers Explored for Pediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis
Diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) in children provides a key challenge, because most of the clinical symptoms of TB in children are non-specific with signs and symptoms that resemble common pediatric illnesses, including pneumonia and malnutrition and therefore clinical diagnosis is unreliable. More...03 Nov 2021
