Leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis, or Kala-azar, is a disseminated infection caused by several subspecies of the L. donovani. The disease is estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to affect approximately 12 million people in 88 countries. It is transmitted to humans by bites of the Phlebotomus sandflies, which acquire infection from feeding on infected animals. Though it is a disease for poor countries, in Southern Europe, it has become the leading opportunistic infection in AIDS patients.
Leishmania Human Test
●The Leishmania Ab Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antibodies including IgG, IgM, and IgA to the subspecies of the Leishmania donovani (L. donovani), the Visceral leishmaniasis causative protozoans in human serum, plasma or whole blood. This test is intended to be used as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of the disease of Visceral leishmaniasis. Any reactive specimen with the Leishmania Ab Rapid Test must be confirmed with alternative testing method(s).
●The test cassette consists of: 1) a burgundy colored conjugate pad containing recombinant L. donovani specific antigen conjugated with colloid gold (Leishmania conjugates) and rabbit IgG-gold conjugates, 2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing a test band (T band) and a control band (C band). The T band is pre-coated with un-conjugated L. donovani antigen, and the C band is pre-coated with goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody.
