Molecular detection of pathogens in ticks infesting cattle in Nampula province, Mozambique

  • Authors: Antunes S, Domingos A, Magaia V, Matsimbe AM, Neves L, Noormahomed E, Sanches GS

Ticks are ectoparasites that can act as vectors of a large number of pathogens in wild and domestic animals, pets, and occasionally humans. The global threat of emerging or re-emerging tick-borne diseases supports the need for research focused in the zoonotic transmission, especially in countries like Mozambique where rural populations are in close contact with […]

Generation and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies against Rift Valley Fever Virus Nucleoprotein

  • Authors: Antunes S, Coetzer JAW, Domingos A, Esteves A, Fafetine JM, Neves L, Paweska JT, Rutten VPMG

Due to the unpredictable and explosive nature of Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks, rapid and accurate diagnostic assays for low-resource settings are urgently needed. To improve existing diagnostic assays, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the nucleocapsid protein of RVF virus (RVFV) were produced and characterized. Four IgG2a MAbs showed specific binding to denatured nucleocapsid protein, both from a recombinant source and from inactivated RVFV, in Western blot analysis and in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
