Pyrexia and progressive anemia are major clinical signs of surra, and the principal host species are camels, horses, buffaloes and cattle. Detection of antibodies specific to <em>T. evansi <\/em>is possible with immunofluorescence (IFA), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a card agglutination test (CATT\/T.evansi). In collaboration with the Institute of Tropical Medicine (Antwerp, Belgium), Coris BioConcept has developed an immunochromatography test (ICT) for detecting antibodies specific for <em>T. evansi. <\/em>First validation performed on 88 positives and 73 negatives shows a negative predictive value (NPV) of 100 %. The test is performed in 15 minutes on whole blood or plasma. It is the first ICT test for surra that is intended to be used either in the laboratory or in the field.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Supplier:<\/strong> Coris Bioconcept<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-theme-color\" href=\"mailto:thomas.leclipteux@corisbio.com\">Mail the supplier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infection with Trypanosoma evansi causes the disease \u2018surra\u2019 that affects a wide variety of wild and domesticated animals in India, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and outbreaks also occur sporadically in Europe.
