Newly established monoclonal antibody diagnostic assays for Schistosoma mansoni direct detection in areas of low endemicity.
Current available methods for diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni lack sufficient sensitivity, which results in underreporting of infectious in areas of low endemicity.We developed three novel diagnostic methodologies for the direct detection of schistosome infection in serum samples. These three n...
