Thakachova A.A., Berezhko V.K., Haidarov K.A.

Summary

One performed the comparative efficacy evaluation of cell and fractionated C. tenuicollis protoscolices antigens at serological monitoring of C. tenuicollis infection using ELISA. 43 sera samples of sheep infected by C. tenuicollis and 65 sera samples of clinically heath sheep without cestode infection were examined. The sensitivity of ELISA with C. tenuicollis cell antigen was 81,4% as while with fractionated antigen – 83,7%. The specificity values were 76,9 and 75,4% respectively. Both antigens were recommended to apply in seroepizootological monitoring of C. tenuicollis infection in sheep.
