Further study on detection of cattle schistosomiasis with dipstick dye immunoassay / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of DDIA on detecting cattle schistosomiasis. Methods The sera of schistosomiasis cattle, negative control cattle and fascioliasis cattle were detected with DDIA and compared with COPT. Results The sensitivity, specificity and across reaction of DDIA using 10 ?l of sample sera were 95.7%, 96.0% and 20.0% respectively and COPT were 72.9%, 100.0% and 0 respectively. Conclusions DDIA has high sensitivity and specificity for detecting cattle schistosomiasis with 10 ?l of sample serum, and the sensitivity is higher than that of COPT.
