Description: Description of target: Strongyloides is a genus containing some 50 species of obligate gastrointestinal parasites of vertebrates. Strongyloides stercoralis is the scientific name of a human parasitic roundworm causing the disease of strongyloidiasis. Its common name is pinworm in the UK and threadworm in the US. The Strongyloides stercoralis nematode can parasitize humans. The adult parasitic stage lives in tunnels in the mucosa of the small intestine.S. stercoralis can be found in areas with tropical and subtropical climates but cases also occur in temperate area, more frequently in rural areas. S. stercoralis has a very low prevalence in societies where fecal contamination of soil or water is rare. Many people infected are usually asymptomatic at first. Symptoms include dermatitis: swelling, itching, larva currens, and mild hemorrhage at the site where the skin has been penetrated. If the parasite reaches the lungs, the chest may feel as if it is burning, and wheezing and coughing may result, along with pneumonia-like symptoms (Löffler's syndrome). The intestines could eventually be invaded, leading to burning pain, tissue damage, sepsis, and ulcers. In severe cases, edema may result in obstruction of the intestinal tract, as well as loss of peristaltic contractions. Strongyloides infection in immunocompromised individuals (particularly following the administration of steroids, for example following transplant surgery) can result in disseminated strongyloidiasis, in which worms move beyond the confines of the gut into other organs. This is fatal unless antiStrongyloides therapy is given.Locating juvenile larvae, either rhabditiform or filariform, in recent stool samples will confirm the presence of this parasite. Other techniques used include direct fecal smears, culturing fecal samples on agar plates, serodiagnosis through ELISA, and duodenal fumigation.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ;Assay info: Assay Methodology: Quantitative Reverse Capture Sandwich ELISA ;Sensitivity: Sensitivity is determined as the probability of the assay indicating a positive score in samples with the specific analyte present: 87.9%
