Geographical patterns of malaria transmission based on serological markers for falciparum and vivax malaria in Ratanakiri, Cambodia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: Malaria transmission is highly heterogeneous, especially in low endemic countries, such as Cambodia. This results in geographical clusters of residual transmission in the dry, low transmission season, which can fuel the transmission to wider areas or populations during the wet season. A better understanding of spatial clustering of malaria can lead to a more efficient, targeted strategy to reduce malaria transmission. This study ...
Serological markers to measure recent changes in malaria at population level in Cambodia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: Serological markers for exposure to different Plasmodium species have recently been used in multiplex immunoassays based on the Luminex technology. However, interpretation of the assay results requires consideration of the half-life of specific antibodies against these markers. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to document the half-life of malaria specific serological makers, as well as assessing the sensitivity of these ...

Molecular and serological rapid tests as markers of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in dogs in Costa Rica Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease is a zoonotic disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and dogs are one of the main domestic reservoirs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: One molecular (OligoC-TesT, Coris Bioconcept) and one serological (T. cruzi-Detect, Inbios) rapid tests were evaluated as infection markers for T. cruzi in 102 dogs living in eight villages endemic for Chagas in Costa Rica.
RESULTS: T. cruzi-Detect performed well as screening tool ...
