Abstract
A microscale immunosorbent assay (E.L.I.S.A.) for the measurement of antibody in Chagas' disease (American trypanosomiasis) is described. The test was assessed on plasma samples from people living in Bahia, Brazil. 98% of the individuals with positive Trypanosoma cruzi immunofluorescent-antibody (I.F.A.) tests gave E.L.I.S.A. reading considered as positive. Less than 2% of those with negative I.F.A. tests had positive E.L.I.S.A. reactions. This simple test may be suitable for use in large seroepidemiological surveys.
