Parasites are organisms that live in or on the bodies of other organisms and feed on nutrients from their hosts. Parasitic infection refers to the process by which parasites invade the human body and establish parasitism. A large number of studies have shown that parasite excretions, secretions, shedding, and decomposition of dead parasites have toxic effects on the host and cause tissue damage or destruction of the body. Currently, clinical imaging examinations or laboratory examinations can be used to determine whether there is a parasitic infection in the body, which helps to take appropriate measures for prevention and treatment.
The Dangers of Parasitic Infection
Organ Damage
Malnutrition
Immune Response
Risk of Spreading Disease
Complication
As in vitro diagnostics (IVD) technology improves the speed and accuracy of diagnosis, it also helps control the spread of parasitic infections, which will help detect parasites early and perform large-scale screening.
Main Methods for IVD of Parasites
Immunological Diagnostic Technology
Intradermal Test (IDT) Immunoelectrophoresis Indirect Hemagglutination Test (IHA) Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Assay (IFA) Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Western Blot (WB)
Molecular Biology Diagnostic Technology
DNA Probe Technology Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Stool Test
Tissue Biopsy
Film Degree Exam
Advantages of IVD in Parasites
High Sensitivity
The IVD method has very high sensitivity and can detect parasite infections at deficient concentrations. It is important for early diagnosis and treatment to avoid further disease progression.
High Specificity
In addition to improving diagnostic accuracy and preventing misdiagnosis, these technologies can specifically identify the target parasite and eliminate other factors that may interfere with the results.
Quick and Easy
Clinical diagnosis and epidemiological investigation can be completed in a shorter amount of time so that corresponding measures can be taken in time to prevent and control the disease.
