Article Title: Heterogeneity of Leishmania donovani Parasites Complicates Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis: Comparison of Different Serological Tests in Three Endemic Regions
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0116408
Figure Lengend Snippet: OD values of VL sera from Sudan (n = 50), India (n = 26) and France with negative (HIV-, n = 26) or positive (HIV+, n = 11) HIV were tested in rKLO8- or rK39 ELISA at dilutions of 1:800. Means ODs of VL sera from the different regions were compared. Dots represent values for individual sera and horizontal line represents cut-off values (0.12). Significance was determined by unpaired Student's t test at 95% confidence intervals and P-values < 0.05 indicate statistically significant differences; ns indicates no significant differences.
Article Snippet: Optical densities (ODs) were measured at 450 nm using FLUOstar Omega ELISA microreader (BMG LABTECH).
