Abstract
A technique is described for the serodiagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis by means of the indirect fluorescent antibody technique on dried blood samples. As one technician with 2 assistants can examine up to 500 samples in one day, this technique is of value in the screening of large populations for the presence of trypanosomiasis.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
