Carrion's disease (CD) affects poor communities from the Andean region in South America, where lethal cases have been reported and associated with hemolytic anemia. The improvement of the sensitivity and specificity of the serological assays provides better accuracy for the diagnosis CD. Image shows a 3D representation of the seven most promising proteins and their B-cell linear epitopes. Jimenez-Vasquez, Calvay-Sanchez, Zarate-Sulca & Mendoza-Mujica
