Sero-diagnosis of schistosomiasis by ELISA test in an endemic area of Gimvi village, India
Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was carried out in Gimvi village, India, using antigens derived from S. haematobium and S. mansoni adult worms. Patients excreting schistosome ova in urine elicited positive ELISA titres, whereas patients who were previously positive but are no longer passing viable eggs were negative for ELISA.
