Infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria are major challenges for global public health. Particularly worrisome are infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, which are increasingly difficult to treat because of the loss of efficacy of the current antibacterial agents, a problem that continues to escalate worldwide. There has been a limited interest and investment […]

Serological diagnosis of pneumocystosis: production of a synthetic recombinant antigen for immunodetection of Pneumocystis jirovecii

  • Authors: Cardoso F, Esteves F, Matos O, Tomas AL
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Scientific Reports
  • Link: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep36287

Diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) relies on the detection of P. jirovecii in respiratory specimens obtained by invasive techniques. Thus, the development of a serological test is urgently needed as it will allow the diagnosis of PcP using blood, an inexpensive and non-invasive specimen. This study aims to combine the production of a multi-epitope synthetic […]

Post-exposure serological responses to malaria parasites in potential blood donors

  • Authors: Ferreira AR, Portugal-Calisto D, Silva MS, Teodósio R
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Malaria Journal

Background Cases of transfusion-transmitted malaria have been described around the world and highlighted in some studies. Semi-immune individuals are more likely to transmit malaria as they may be asymptomatic. Some countries allow blood donations only based on epidemiological criteria while others reinforce their criteria with serological tests. However, little is known about the longevity of […]
