Development of a Species-Specific Coproantigen ELISA for Human Taenia solium Taeniasis [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
Taenia solium causes human neurocysticercosis and is endemic in underdeveloped countries where backyard pig keeping is common. Microscopic fecal diagnostic methods for human T. solium taeniasis are not very sensitive, and Taenia saginata and Taenia solium eggs are indistinguishable under the light microscope.

Diagnosis of canine echinococcosis: comparison of coproantigen detection with necropsy in stray dogs and red foxes from northern Jordan

Parasite, 2000
The sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used as a diagnostic test for Echinococcus granulosus infection by detecting coproantigens in 94 stray dogs Canis familiaris and eight red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from northern Jordan.

Detection of coproantigen in early trichinellosis

Parasite, 2001
Trichinellosis has become undoubtedly worldwide in distribution. Its diagnosis relies largely on the serodiagnostic procedures which are of great value but unfortunately miss the enteric phase. This could be a serious diagnostic problem in the absence of

Challenges in applying W.A.A.V.P. criteria to diagnosing triclabendazole resistance in Fasciola hepatica, an example from the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance
Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) is a zoonotic parasite of global concern. In Australia, it is the 13th most important cause of economic loss in the sheep meat industry alone. Resistance to the frontline drug, triclabendazole (TCBZ), was first recorded in

Coproantigen ELISA Effectively Detects Moderate-To-High <i>Fasciola</i> Egg Counts with Limited Sensitivity at Low Levels in Field Settings. [PDF]

Trop Life Sci Res
Detection of Fasciola eggs in ruminant faecal samples typically occurs around 15 weeks post-infection during patent infections. The recent introduction of coproantigen ELISA (cELISA) enables rapid antemortem diagnosis of fasciolosis, highlighting the need to evaluate its diagnostic performance under the field conditions.
