Canine enteric coronavirus (CCoV) is alphacoronavirus infect dogs are strongly associated with enteric coronavirus cats and pigs. While traditionally CCoV cause gastrointestinal clinical signs of mild, there are increasing reports of CCoV deadly infections Horse Recombinant Proteins in dogs, with evidence of both gastrointestinal and systemic spread of the virus. As a result, CCoV now considered an emerging infectious disease of dogs. In addition to the two known serotypes CCoV, novel recombinant variant CCoV spike protein has been found to contain N-terminal domain (NTDs) are closely related to those of the cat and pig strains. Increasing severity of disease in dogs and the emergence of new CCoVs can be associated with high rates of recombination in gene spikes that can occur during infection by more than one type CCoV on the same host. OmpL1 recombinant proteins as antigens diagnostic for the detection of canine leptospirosis. microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is...
Improving serodiagnosis of human and canine leishmaniasis with recombinant Leishmania braziliensis cathepsin l-like protein and a synthetic peptide containing its linear B-cell epitope.
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis and correct human leishmaniasis is important for the treatment of disease. Another important step in the control of visceral leishmaniasis is the identification of infected dogs, which is the main domestic reservoir of L. infantum. recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides based Leishmania genes have emerged as valuable targets for serodiagnosis because of their increased sensitivity, specificity and potential for standardization. Cathepsin L-like surface antigen gene that is secreted by amastigotes and has little in common with host proteins, factors that allow this protein as a good target for the serodiagnosis of leishmaniasis. Feline Recombinant Proteins RESULTS We mapped linear B cell epitopes in the Cathepsin L-like protein from L. braziliensis. A synthetic peptide containing epitopes and recombinant proteins were evaluated for serodiagnosis of human tegumentary and visceral leishmaniasis and visceral leishmaniasis dogs. CONCLUSION Best done reco...
