Antissaliva Antibodies of Lutzomyia Longipalpis in area of Visceral Leishmaniasis

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the presence of antissaliva antibodies of Lutzomyia longipalpis in human hosts living in area of visceral leishmaniasis, located in the Center-West region of Brazil. The presence of antissaliva antibodies of L. longipalpis exhibited a strong correlation with the protection and development of antibodies against Leishmania sp. Of the 492 children studied, elevated antissaliva antibodies of L. longipalpis were detected in 38.4% of the participants. There was a higher per… Show more

“…Validated in Brazil and elsewhere [ 36 , 37 ], the rk39 rapid test has been used to detect asymptomatic and subclinical infections [ 29 ]. In the reevaluation, only two samples were positive on ELISA, while all were negative on the rapid test—a detection failure also observed in other studies [ 38 , 39 ].…”

“…All samples were negative on the rapid test with rK39 antigen, corroborating results of previous studies (Clemente et al, 2014;Fraga et al, 2016). Although intended for VL diagnosis (Cañavate et al, 2011;Peruhype-Magalhães et al, 2012), this method has also been used to detect asymptomatic and subclinical infections (Barão et al, 2007;França et al, 2018).…”
