Abstract

During the epidemiological study on Leishmaniasis reservoirs conducted in the Green Valley Village in Nuba Mountain west of Sudan, direct microscopy and a modified direct agglutination test (DAT-R), EL1SA, K39 and PCR were used. Rabbits, rats, goats, dogs, donkeys and humans were included in this study. There were no classical clinical signs of leishmaniasis encountered in humans or animals. Although the performance of these tests was variable, the DAT-R test was more reliable. PCR was not useful in this study due to reduced sensitivity of the primers used and the technique applied. The study showed that the disease is present in the area in a sub-clinical form and transmission is going on through various reservoirs.

Özet

Sudan'ın batısında yer alan Nuba Dağı'ndaki Yeşil Vadi Köyü'nde gerçekleştirilen epiderniyolojik Leishmaniasis rezervuar çalışmaları sırasında, direkt mikroskobi, modifıye direkt aglütinasyon testi (DAT-R), ELISA, K39 ve PCR yöntemleri uygulanmıştır. Tavşanlar, sıçanlar, keçiler, köpekler, eşekler ve insanlar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. İncelenen hayvan ve insanlarda leishmaniasis lehine herhangi bir klinik belirti saptanamamıştır. Testlerin performansları değişşiklik gösterse de, DAT-R testinin daha uygun olduğu görülmüştür. PCR, kullanılan primer ve uygulanan tekniğe bağlı olarak hassasiyetinin azalmasından dolayı faydalı olmadığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışma, hastalığın bu bölgede sub klinik formda bulunduğunu ve değişik rezervuarlar aracılığıyla bulaşımmı sürdürdüğünü göstermiştir.
