Serological diagnosis is a useful method to detect African trypanosome infection in livestock animals. Currently available serological tests utilize whole parasites or crude antigens, and recombinant antigens may improve reproducibility/standardization and reduce production costs. With a goal of identifying such recombinant proteins, we computationally identified proteins with tandem repeat (TR) domain from the parasite proteomes and evaluated their potential for serological diagnosis of African ...[more]
