Comparison of Fecal Egg Counts and ELISA for the Diagnosis of Dicrocoelium Dendriticum Infection

Abstract: From economical point of view, Dicrocoelium Dendriticum (D. dendriticum) causes a lot of damages to the livestock industry annually. So, the rapid diagnosis of infection is very important. The diagnosis is based on egg per count of feces (EPG) test because detection according to clinical symptoms is difficult. Since EPG is not accurate and sensitive, the serological methods become important for the diagnosis of this parasite as they are more accurate in comparison to EPG test and they are able to diagnose infe… Show more

“…Fecal egg examination is a routine procedure, which is not able to indicate the precise level of infection in the early stages. Serological methods have become important for the diagnosis of parasites as they are more accurate in comparison with conventional egg examination and can be used to quickly diagnose infection [16]. Among these methods, ELISA has been most extensively studied as it allows the simultaneous and quick examination of a large number of samples.…”

“…To control this infection efficiently, early diagnosis of the infection is inevitable as last two larval stages of this parasite feed on blood that loss up to one fifth of the total circulating erythrocyte volume from young animals and may cause fatal anemia [10]. Previous study reported the serological methods for diagnosis of Dicrocoelium dendriticium because these methods are more accurate in comparison to FEC test [25].…”

“…Early diagnosis of the infection is crucial for effective control of H. contortus infection because last two larval stages of this parasite feed on blood and loss up to one fifth of the total circulating erythrocyte volume from young animals and may cause fatal anemia [10]. The serological methods become important for the diagnosis of parasite as they are more accurate in comparison to EPG test and they are able to diagnose infection in a short time [25].…”
