However, this immense wealth potential has not been well exploited support farmers their contribution to economy as a whole due various factors such diseases. Among these, fascioliasis one most economically important parasitic diseases farm animals, especially sheep. Object...

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 suc...

coprological analysis is still commonly employed to diagnose human fasciolosis despite the fact that this method is not utterly reliable. by far serologic methods in this case hold more validity and reliability. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate a 35-mer peptide covering a preliminary epitope of cathepsin l1, a new purified antigen of fasciola hepatica, by igg-elisa method for di...

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...

Abstract Fasciolosis and hydatidosis are the world’s most common zoonotic major parasitic ailments of domesticated animals with financial public health implications. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 384 randomly selected cattle slaughtered at Wolaita Sodo municipal abattoir to estimate prevalence associated risk factors for co-infection fasciolosis using ante- postmortem examination tec...

fasciolosis caused by fasciola hepatica and f.gigantica is one of the major public health problems in the world and in iran. considering that stool examination for fasciola eggs is not a sensitive method and only 25% of infected patients pass the eggs in the faeces , and immunodiagnosis methods are more applicable for this purpose, the present study was conducted to compare the somatic (s) and ...

background: fasciolosis is a well known parasitic disease of animals with public health importance. in rasht and bandar-an­zali, in gilan province, where experienced two large human fasciolosis outbreaks, no update information is available on ani­mal fasciolosis. paucity of information on animal fasciolosis in these regions and its possible impacts on human fasciolo­sis called us for carrying o...
