Improved Performance of ELISA and Immunochromatographic Tests Using a New Chimeric A2-Based Protein for Human Visceral Leishmaniasis Diagnosis

Maria Marta Figueiredo et al.

Summary: The study evaluated a new chimeric protein DTL-4 for serodiagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis, showing high sensitivity and specificity in ELISA and ICT formats. DTL-4 is a promising candidate antigen for diagnosing VL patients, including those with VL/AIDS coinfection.

Validation of ELISA with recombinant antigens in serological diagnosis of canine Leishmania infantum infection

Mahyumi Fujimori et al.

Summary: The study aimed to establish an effective serological assay for diagnosing L. infantum infected dogs. The sensitivity of the rK39-, rK28- and rKR95-based ELISA was around 97% with a specificity of 100%. The new diagnostic method showed better performance compared to assays currently in use in Brazil and worldwide.
