ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to detect the seroprevalence of human fascioliasis in Isfahan County, central Iran in 2013. Overall, 471 sera samples were collected from people recalled randomly to 20 health centers in the city of Isfahan and 10 related villages in 2014. Sera were examined using ELISA test. A questionnaire was filled out for each participant. Altogether eight cases [1.7%] were seropositive which had the OD absorbance in ELISA test more than the calculated cutoff of 0.36. All of them were female. One positive subject had a history of consuming Delar [Local dish] and three seropositive cases with history of eating Zeitoon-Parvadeh [Proceeded olive]. Isfahan County might be considered as one area apt for fascioliasis. More studies in terms of veterinary investigation and verifying the risk factors are necessary
