Abstract:

Methods for the diagnosis of visceral, cutaneous and canine leishmaniasis in a subject suspected of being infected with the parasitic protozoa is disclosed. Disclosed are antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of antibodies to parasite soluble antigens and antigen-capture ELISAs for the detection of parasite soluble antigens in host samples. Also disclosed are immunodiagnostic kits for the detection of parasite circulating antigens or IgM and IgG antibodies in a sample from subject having visceral, cutaneous or canine leishmaniasis. In these methods and kits, detection may be done photometrically or visually. The methods and kits also allow the visualization of amastigotes or promastigotes in a sample.
