Drug sensitivity of Trypanosoma evansi and the use of immunoassays in diagnosing infections with T. evansi in buffaloes in Vietnam.

The biological characteristics of isolates of T. evansi collected from buffalo in different provinces in North Vietnam was determined in terms of their sensitivity to drugs currently used in the treatment of trypanosomosis. Five isolates were collected from buffalo, cloned and then tested against Trypamidium, Samorine, Naganol and Veriben. All isolates were sensitive to Naganol and Veriben. An isolate from a buffalo in Ha bac province (Hb1) was the least sensitive with trypamidium at a CD80 > 128 mg/kg, more than 8 times the CD 100 of the remaining isolates (16 mg/kg). An antigen-detection enzyme immunoassay (Ag-ELISA) based on a T. evansi-specific monoclonal antibody was evaluated for its ability to detect infections with T. evansi in buffalo. The sensitivity of the Ag-ELISA was 63% and the specificity 75%. The positive predictive value of this assay was too low to allow identification of individual infected animals on the results of a single test in the districts investigated. For definitive diagnosis, a serial testing protocol was used, where a more specific test, the card agglutination test (CATT) was used initially and any positive samples was then checked by the Ag-ELISA.

A review of some simple immunoassays in the serodiagnosis of cystic hydatid disease.

Laboratory diagnosis of cystic hydatid disease (CHD) in the field or rural health centres catering to the needs of rural populations, especially in the developing countries, is faced with many difficulties. This paper reviews the need for simple and rapid immunoassays for the diagnosis of hydatid disease in such conditions. Simple and rapid immunoassays such as Dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hydatid antigen dot immunobinding assay (HA-DIA) and Co-agglutination (Co-A) which have the potential for wider use in the field or poorly equipped laboratories for serodiagnosis of hydatid disease are discussed.
