AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to enhance the sensitivity of the rabies genome hybridization test by using PCR amplification after reverse transcription of rabies RNA extracted from infected brain tissue.
  • The presence of the amplified DNA was confirmed using cDNA synthesized from either an antigenomic primer or an antimessenger primer.
  • This method could lead to more accurate detection of rabies in infected samples.

Article Abstract

In an attempt to improve the sensitivity of the rabies genome hybridization test, PCR amplification was used following reverse transcription of rabies RNA extracted from infected brain. Presence of amplified DNA is demonstrated with either cDNA synthesized from the antigenomic primer or from antimessenger primer.

The burden of pathogenic enteric protozoa and soil-transmitted helminths among impoverished populations living on the Texas-Mexico border is unclear. We conducted a cross-sectional study on an ongoing longitudinal cohort of 616 adults residing in Starr County, Texas. A total of 359 adults were screened for four protozoa and five soil-transmitted helminths by using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
