Efficiency evaluation of two prepared antigens from hydatid cyst fluid and protoscoleces in diagnosis of hydatid disease

الملخص EN

Recent study designed to assess the efficiency of two prepared antigens hydatid cyst fluid and protoscoleces antigens in diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis in naturally infected sheep by using indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA).

20 sera of infected sheep were recorded a positive result in IHA of two tested antigen in comparison with control sera were most of them recorded a negative results.

The hydatid cyst fluid antigen showed a highest antibody titer when used in diagnosis in comparison with protoscoleses antigen.
