[Immunodiagnosis of Fasciola gigantica fascioliasis by ELISA technique in Senegal. Preliminary observations in 2 lambs].
The purpose of this work was to investigate the use of the ELISA test for the diagnosis of fasciolosis (Fasciola gigantica) in sheep, in Senegal, using Fasciola gigantica metabolic excretion-secretion products as antigens. Coprological analysis results were negative until the fourteenth week following infection; using the ELISA test, the first anti-Fasciola gigantica antibodies can be detected as early as the fourth week following infection.
