[Leish-l] rk39-ELISA in East Africa

[elfadil abass]

Dear Dr
Abate Mulugeta,
 
Thank you for this information. However, they could
only evaluate the rk39 in rapid test format. 
 
Although,
this recombinant protein in ELISA format have shown improved sensitivity in
many endemic countries, it is accuracy in Sudan is not well studied!! I could
only find 2 old publications (Zijstra et al, 1998; Zijstra et al, 2001).
