TL;DR: The results of this intervention study suggest that the elimination of the majority of seropositive dogs may affect the cumulative incidence of seroconversion in dogs temporarily and may also diminish the incidence of human cases of visceral leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the polymerase chain reaction and serology for the detection of canine visceral leishmaniasis.
D A Ashford,Marcelo T. Bozza,M Freire,José Carlos Miranda,Ítalo Rodrigues de Araújo Sherlock,C Eulalio,Ulisses Gazos Lopes,Octavio Fernandes,Wim Degrave,Barker Rh +9 more
TL;DR: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serology was evaluated for the diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis in Bahia, Brazil and it is suggested that the PCR might serve as a better gold standard to define Leishmania infection than culture or hamster inoculation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the control of visceral leishmaniasis: validation of the Falcon assay screening test--enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (FAST-ELISA) for field diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis.
TL;DR: The FAST-ELISA system provides a sensitive, specific, and field-adaptable test for canine visceral leishmaniasis, which can be evaluated quickly without the use of a microscope or spectrophotometric results.
