See fig. 2 cluster 4. That’s where the VI-A group sits. It’s one of the more interesting S. stercoralis groups. A dog worm that sometimes gets into people and also cats. Probably a promiscuous stercoralis type. Was the owner tested?

SsIR/NIE ELISA for Strongyloides stercoralis is an important step toward a routine Strongyloides serological test. The test was reliable for post-treatment monitoring, though some technical issues must be fixed before routine use.

Scientist friends/followers from low/mid income countries. Starting Jan 1, 2024 Elsevier is running a 1 year pilot to reduce publication fees for scientists from low/mid income countries. Applies to a selection of journals. In some cases, publication charges may be ZERO. No joke!

[CRPVBD Special Content @CRPVBD_SC]

🚨ATTENTION🚨 Scientists from certain countries receive LARGE DISCOUNTS on open access (OA) publication charges for select @Elsevier_Sci journals including @crpvbd - this is part of a 1 year pilot starting Jan 1, 2024
