Garcia, Hector H. ; Gonzalez, Armando E. ; O'Neal, Seth E. ; Gilman, Robert H. | Instituto Nacional de Salud | 2018-11-30T22:50:34ZNeurocysticercosis is the infection of the nervous system by the larvae (cysticerci) of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. Neurocysticercosis is the major cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide and as such, it represents a global health problem. On [...]texto impreso

Serological diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis is limited to antigen detection using EL[...]texto impreso
Lee, Chan ; Noh, John ; O'Neal, Seth E. ; Gonzalez, Armando E. ; Garcia, Hector H. ; Handali, Sukwan | Public Library of Science | 2019-12-06T21:02:59ZWe developed a novel and portable fluorescent sensor that integrates a lateral flow assay with a quantum dot (Qdots) label and a mobile phone reader for detection of specific antibodies in human serum. We evaluated the utility of this assay to t[...]texto impreso
