Protozoa Pathogens Detection Kits
RevoDx Toxoplasma gondii qPCR Kit
Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed parasite with significant implications for human and animal health. While infection is often asymptomatic in healthy individuals, it can cause severe complications in immunocompromised individuals and congenital infection can result in serious consequences for newborns. Prevention strategies, including proper hygiene practices and food safety measures, are essential for reducing the risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for improving outcomes in infected individuals.
Intended Use
RevoDx Toxoplasma gondii qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA.
RevoDx Giardia Lamblia / Entamoeba Histolytica/ Cryptosporidium spp qPCR Kit
Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia, and Entamoeba histolytica are major protozoan parasites responsible for waterborne diseases. Giardia causes an illness known as giardiasis, while Cryptosporidium leads to cryptosporidiosis. Entamoeba histolytica causes amoebiasis, an infection of the gastrointestinal tract. These protozoa are among the most frequently identified causes of waterborne disease outbreaks, affecting both drinking and recreational water sources.
Intended Use
RevoDx Giardia Lamblia / Entamoeba Histolytica / Cryptosporidium spp qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Giardia Lamblia / Entamoeba Histolytica / Cryptosporidium spp DNA.
RevoDx Giardia Lamblia qPCR Kit
Giardia infection is an intestinal infection marked by stomach cramps, bloating, nausea and bouts of watery diarrhea. Giardia infection is caused by a microscopic parasite that is found worldwide, especially in areas with poor sanitation and unsafe water. Giardia infection (giardiasis) is one of the most common causes of waterborne disease in the United States. The parasites are found in backcountry streams and lakes but also in public water supplies, swimming pools, whirlpool spas and wells. Giardia infection can be spread through food and person-to-person contact.
Intended Use
RevoDx Giardia Lamblia qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Giardia Lamblia DNA.
RevoDx Entamoeba Histolytica qPCR Kit
Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan that causes intestinal amebiasis as well as extra-intestinal manifestations. Although 90 percent of E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic, nearly 50 million people become symptomatic, with about 100,000 deaths yearly
Intended Use
RevoDx Entamoeba Histolytica qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Entamoeba Histolytica DNA.
RevoDx Cryptosporidium spp qPCR Kit
Cryptosporidium is a protozoan that infects a wide variety of vertebrates, including humans, causing acute gastroenteritis. The disease manifests with abdominal pain and diarrhea similar to that of choleric infection. In the immunocompromised hosts, the parasite causes prolonged infections that can also be fatal. For this reason, cryptosporidiosis is considered one of riskiest opportunistic infections for patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Intended Use
RevoDx Cryptosporidium spp qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Cryptosporidium spp DNA.
RevoDx Cryptosporidium spp qPCR Kit
Cyclospora cayetanensis is an intestinal coccidian parasite transmitted to humans through the consumption of oocysts in fecally contaminated food and water. Infection is found worldwide and is highly endemic in tropical and subtropical regions with poor sanitation. Disease in developed countries is usually observed in travelers and in seasonal outbreaks associated with imported produce from endemic areas.
Intended Use
RevoDx Cyclospora cayetanensis qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of Cyclospora cayetanensis DNA.
RevoDx Malaria qPCR Kit
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by single-celled parasites of the Plasmodium group, primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, vomiting, and headaches, with severe cases potentially leading to jaundice, seizures, coma, or even death. Symptoms typically emerge 10 to 15 days after infection, and if left untreated, malaria can recur months later. Interestingly, individuals who have recently recovered may experience milder symptoms upon reinfection, although this partial resistance diminishes over time without continued exposure to the disease.
Intended Use
RevoDx Malaria qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acids of Plasmodium species including Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium knowlesi.
