Serodiagnosis of fasciolosis in ruminants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Various serological techniques including immunoprecipitation, indirect haemagglutination and the indirect fluorescence antibody test have been successfully applied for the detection of fasciolosis, mainly in experimental infections. Recently, the most frequently used assay is the ELISA technique with somatic or excretory-secretory antigens obtained from adult flukes. Further purification of such antigens has considerably increased both the sensitivity and specificity of the system. However, most data indicate that serodiagnosis is reliable in groups of naturally-infected cattle and sheep but cannot yet be applied for the detection of individually infected animals.

Fasciolosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease with worldwide distribution. The disease causes significant economic losses in herd industry including decrease animal products such as meat, milk and infertility reduction. Human can acquire infection as accidental host especially in areas with high level of raining and humidity. Previous studies showed the prevalence of infection among meat-product ...

Two recombinant Fasciola hepatica antigens, saposin-like protein-2 (recSAP2) and cathepsin L-1 (recCL1), were assessed individually and in combination in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the specific serodiagnosis of human fasciolosis in areas of low endemicity as encountered in Central Europe. Antibody detection was conducted using ProteinA/ProteinG (PAG) conjugated to alkaline p...

Zoonotic helminths are often transmitted to humans through domestic animals. This retrospective study was performed to estimate the prevalence of some important zoonotic helminthic infections of the liver and lung including echinococcosis, fasciolosis and dicrocoeliasis in Kazerun and Shiraz abattoirs, Fars, Iran, during 2011-2013. A total of 12381 sheep, 6473 cattle, 22847 goats, 66 camels, an...

A cystatin capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using recombinant Fasciola gigantica cathepsin L1 antigen was developed to detect specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass antibodies (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) and was evaluated for its diagnostic potential for human fasciolosis. In an analysis of the sera of 13 patients infected with F. gigantica, 209 patients with other parasitic...
