The mallein test is a sensitive and specific clinical test for glanders. Glanders is a bacterial disease which is common in equids such as horses, donkeys, or mules [1]. This test is an allergic hypersensitivity test used as a diagnosis for glanders[2]. It is caused by a bacteria called Burkholderia mallei, which is contagious for humans and other species [3]. The occurrence of glanders must be reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health.[4]. Mallein, a protein fraction of the glanders organism (Burkholderia mallei), is usually injected by an eye-drop. If an animal is infected, the animal will show swelling in the eye from around 48 hours of injection and may be accompanied by secretion and conjunctivitis [5]. Mallein is non toxic to normal animals [6].
Background[edit]
History of Glanders and the Mallein Test[edit]
Mallein was discovered in 1890 [7]. Before 1934, glangers was widespread[8]. In the early 1900's, glanders was common in Europe, the United States of America, and Canada, and has been successfully eliminated by mass testing and the slaughter and destruction of campaigns [9]. Glanders is still present in Asia, the Middle East and South America [10]
Limitations and Benefits of the Mallein Test[edit]
Limitations[edit]
Although Mallein is the most commonly used form of testing for glanders, cross reactions were reported between Burkholderia mallei and Streptococcus equi[11] , which is a bacteria-caused contagious upper respiratory tract infection of equines[12]. This resulted in false-positive reactions [13].
Benefits[edit]
The specificity of Mallein tests and the efficiency and potency of it are connected to the "molecular weight of protein fractions, antigenic range, and virulence"[14].
Test Procedures and Methods[edit]
- Preparation of crude mallein[15]
- Purification of malleo proteins[16]
- Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) preparation[17]
- Ammonium sulfate precipitation[18]
- Gel filtration chromatography[19]
- Sensitization of animals[20]
- Potency test[21]
- Intradermopalpebral[22]
