Article Synopsis
- - Tungiasis is caused by Tunga penetrans fleas, spreading rapidly in poor living conditions, especially in disadvantaged areas of developing countries, leading to significant social and health challenges.
- - The study focused on identifying key antigens from these fleas to understand their immunological behavior, using various techniques like immunodiffusion and SDS-PAGE on samples from infested individuals in Murang'a County.
- - Three main immunodominant antigens were identified with specific molecular weights, which could help in creating effective control strategies, including potential immune therapies alongside hygiene practices.
