Evaluation of specific chicken IgY antibody value developing diagnostic capture antibody ELISA kit against Foot and Mouth disease.

The most preferred method for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) viral antigen and identification of viral serotype is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Diagnostic tests with high sensitivity are necessary both to distinguish infected vaccinated animals and execute disease control programs for the identification of the carrier animals. The current strategies for the detection of FMD virus are mainly based on the capture antibody (sandwich) ELISA test.

Genetic Polymorphisms in MicroRNA-196a2 and the Risk of Human Abortion Related to Mycoplasma hominis.

Mutations in some miRNAs are associated with human recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). In parallel, Mycoplasma spp. are one of the most common infections in pregnant women.

High viral load detection of human Cosavirus in Iranian pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis.

Aim: The present study implemented an RT-qPCR assay for the detection and quantification of human cosavirus in stool specimens from pediatric patients involved in acute gastroenteritis.

Background: Human cosavirus is a newly recognized virus that seems to be partly related to acute gastroenteritis in pediatric patients. However, the relationship between human cosavirus and diseases in humans is unclear.
