abstract

cystic hydatid disease (hydatidosis) is one of the most important zoonosis that is caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus . as its diagnosis by clinical symptoms alone is difficult and confusing, serologic diagnostic techniques are used to confirm the disease. these techniques can also be used for   epidemiologic studies. the present study was performed with a commercial human enzyme-linked   immunosorbent assay (elisa) kit for the diagnosis of hydatidosis in sera collected from sheep with   hydatidosis. sera were collected from 68 cases of hydatidosis proven by inspection of hydatid-infested livers   and lungs of the sheep slaughtered in mashhad abattoir and also from 11 healthy cases. sera samples were   examined by elisa kit. the results showed that out of 68 cases of hydatidosis in sheep, 67 samples had   positive absorbance. also from 11 healthy samples, 9 had negative absorbance value. the sensitivity and   specificity of the test were 99 and 82%, respectively. therefore, it can be concluded that it is possible to use   human elisa kit for the diagnosis of hydatidosis in sheep.

Evaluation of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay, Utilizing Native Antigen B for Serodiagnosis of Human Hydatidosis

Background: Hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. Serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of E. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. Therefore, WHO recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

Application of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to the diagnosis of human hydatidosis.

For some time immunologic methods such as indirect hemagglutination, latex agglutination, electrosyneresis or counterimmunoelectrophoresis, double diffusion in gel, immunoelectrophoresis, and indirect immunofluorescence have been widely used in diagnosing human hydatidosis. More recently, immunoenzymatic (ELBA) methods have been introduced into immunologic diagnosis. These methods were used fir...

Immunodiagnosis of Haemonchus contortus infection in sheep by indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectivenessin immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis in experimental and clinical cases in sheep by using somatic wholeadult antigen of H. contortus. Plate ELISA was standardized using 5 μg/well antigen concentration with1:100 and 1:1000 of sera and conjugate dilution. Indirect plate ELISA was able to demonstrate...

comparative evaluation of fast enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (fast-elisa) and standard-elisa for the diagnosis of human hydatidosis

fast enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (fast-elisa) was compared with the standard elisa for the diagnosis of human hydatidosis. seventy serum samples including 30 from hydatidosis patients (surgically confirmed), healthy control individuals not infected with any parasitic diseases (n=/20) and from others with different parasitic infections including, toxocariosis (n=5), fasciolosis (n=5), tric...
