Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a novel chromatographic immunoassay based on Dual-Path Platform technology (DPP® CVL rapid test) for the serodiagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis
Gabriel Grimaldi,Antonio Teva,Adelson Luiz Ferreira,Claudiney Biral dos Santos,Israel de-Souza Pinto,Carolina T. de-Azevedo,Aloísio Falqueto +6 more
TL;DR: The Dual-Path Platform CVL rapid test for detecting K26/K39-reactive antibodies in sera from clinically symptomatic and asymptomatic Leishmania infantum-infected dogs shows high specificity but low sensitivity, indicating that this convenient test may be useful to identify the most infectious dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on crude and recombinant leishmanial antigens for serodiagnosis of symptomatic and asymptomatic Leishmania infantum visceral infections in dogs
Renato Porrozzi,Marcos V. Santos da Costa,Antonio Teva,Aloísio Falqueto,Adelson Luiz Ferreira,Claudiney D. dos Santos,Ana Paula Fernandes,Ricardo T. Gazzinelli,Ricardo T. Gazzinelli,Antonio Campos-Neto,Gabriel Grimaldi +10 more
TL;DR: Data indicates that all three recombinant proteins must be used in parallel to detect essentially all infected dogs, and efforts should be made to develop a cheap and reliable serologic test based on epitope selection from these diagnostic markers for the sensitive detection of L. infantum-infected dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) at different altitudes in an endemic region of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil.
TL;DR: Results reinforce those published in the existing literature, which indicate that Lu.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of natural infection by Leishmania in sand fly species collected in southeastern Brazil.
Leonardo de Souza Rocha,Aloísio Falqueto,Claudiney Biral dos Santos,Adelson Luiz Ferreira,Grazielle Cardoso da Graça,Gabriel Grimaldi,Elisa Cupolillo +6 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, the high rate of genetic polymorphism of the L. braziliensis parasites in one of the disease-endemic areas that were studied may reflect specific transmission cycles involving different sand fly vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA Barcoding of Neotropical Sand Flies (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae): Species Identification and Discovery within Brazil
Israel de Souza Pinto,Bruna Dias das Chagas,Andressa Alencastre Fuzari Rodrigues,Adelson Luiz Ferreira,Helder Ricas Rezende,Rafaela Vieira Bruno,Rafaela Vieira Bruno,Aloísio Falqueto,José Dilermando Andrade-Filho,Eunice Aparecida Bianchi Galati,Paloma Helena Fernandes Shimabukuro,Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil,Alexandre Afranio Peixoto +12 more
TL;DR: The results validate the effectiveness of DNA barcoding for species identification and the discovery of cryptic diversity in sand flies from Brazil.
