Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, an immunofluorescent-antibody test, and two rapid tests (immunochromatographic-dipstick and gel tests) for serological diagnosis of symptomatic and asymptomatic Leishmania infections in dogs.
TL;DR: ELISAs based on soluble promastigotes or amastigote antigens seem to be most suited for the serological diagnosis of canine Leishmania infections in both symptomatic and asymptomatic dogs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential immunodiagnosis between cystic hydatid disease and other cross-reactive pathologies
D Poretti,E Felleisen,Felix Grimm,Marc Pfister,F Teuscher,C Zuercher,Jürg Reichen,Bruno Gottstein +7 more
TL;DR: Immunoblotting provided a 99% discrimination between seropositive pre-operative cystic hydatid disease cases and cross-reactive non-cestode parasitic infections or malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphometric analyses of canine blood microfilariae isolated by the Knott’s test enables Dirofilaria immitis and D. repens species-specific and Acanthocheilonema (syn. Dipetalonema) genus-specific diagnosis
Johannes Magnis,Susanne Lorentz,Lisa Guardone,Felix Grimm,Marta Magi,Torsten J Naucke,Peter Deplazes +6 more
TL;DR: The Knott’s test enables to clearly distinguish between D. immitis, D. repens, Acanthocheilonema dracunculoides and A. reconditum in blood samples of dogs after concentration of mf with the modified Knott's technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coprological study on intestinal helminths in Swiss dogs: temporal aspects of anthelminthic treatment
TL;DR: It is found that an infection risk with potential zoonotic pathogens cannot be ruled out for the dog owner despite regular deworming four times a year.
Journal ArticleDOI
F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography of Echinococcus multilocularis liver lesions: prospective evaluation of its value for diagnosis and follow-up during benzimidazole therapy.
Katrin D. M. Stumpe,E. C. Renner-Schneiter,E. C. Renner-Schneiter,A. K. Kuenzle,Felix Grimm,Zakiyah Kadry,Zakiyah Kadry,Pierre-Alain Clavien,Peter Deplazes,G. K. von Schulthess,Beat Muellhaupt,Rudolf W. Ammann,Eberhard L. Renner,Eberhard L. Renner +13 more
TL;DR: The rapid improvement of positive PET scans with benzimidazole therapy in some patients indicates that absent FDG uptake does not necessarily reflect parasite viability, andFDG-PET is a sensitive and specific adjunct in the diagnosis of suspected AE and can help in differentiating AE from CE.
