    摘要: Compounds and methods are provided for diagnosing Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The disclosed compounds are polypeptides, or antibodies thereto, that contain one or more epitopes of T. cruzi antigens. The compounds are useful in a variety of immunoassays for detecting T. cruzi infection. The polypeptide compounds are further useful in vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions for inducing protective immunity against Chagas' disease in individuals exposed to T. cruzi.

    摘要: Compounds and methods are provided for diagnosing Leishmania infection. Disclosed compounds include polypeptides that contain at least an epitope of the Leishmania chagasi acidic ribosomal antigen LcP0, or a variant thereof. Such compounds are useful in a variety of immunoassays for detecting Leishmania infection and for identifying individuals with asymptomatic infections that are likely to progress to acute visceral leishmaniasis. The polypeptide compounds are further useful in vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions for preventing leishmaniasis.
