Evaluation of Different Immunological Techniques for Diagnosis of Schistosomiasis haematobium in Egypt

Immunogenicity Assessment for Lung-Stage and Biomphalaria Alexandrina Cocktail Vaccine in Schistosoma Mansoni Infected Mice

“…With respect to the low mortality rate, it causes a chronic illness that can damage internal organs, and impair children growth and cognitive development; it may also have an impact on the etiology and transmission of HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria (Robin, 2015). Despite efforts to control this disease, based on treatment of infected people with praziquantel (PZQ) and elimination of snails, the incidence level has shown no significant decrease with continuous spread to new geographic areas particularly in the sub-Saharan Africa (Mahfouz et al, 2011).…”

The correlation between circulating antigen in urine and the intensity of Schistosoma haematobium infection

“…Mahfouz A. et al (2012), found that S. haematobium circulating antigen was detected in the urine of 42 out of 50 with a sensitivity of 84% in the light infection group, and 65 cases out of 70 in heavily infected patients, with a sensitivity of 92.8% (15) . Mahfouz et al, found a significant direct correlation between the level of circulating antigen of Schistosoma haematobium in both serum and urine and the number of eggs excreted in the urine of schistosomiasis patient denoting the reliability of circulating antigen as an indication for the intensity of infection (15) . These results were in parallel with those of Hendawy et al, (2006) (16) .…”

Standardization of dot-enzyme-linked immmunosorbent assay for the diagnosis of bovine visceral schistosomiasis

“…Different immunological techniques, namely, latex agglutination test, sandwich ELISA, and dot-ELISA were evaluated for the diagnosis of Schistosoma haematobium infection in Egypt using purified soluble egg antigen, and the tests were proved to be valuable and can be used as an easy, fast, and accurate diagnostic technique [ 10 ].…”
