The seroprevalence of cystic hydatidosis in Oman

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1999
The presence of antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus in sera from 306 humans and 390 camels in Oman was investigated by indirect haemagglutination assays. Only one of the human and five of the camel sera gave positive reactions. The reactivities of the human sera were confirmed by ELISA.
