An indirect-enzyme immune-linked immunosorbent assay (IEA) was compared to a sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SEA) to diagnose fasciolosis in naturally infected cattle. By means of a rabbit polyclonal IgG antibody to F. hepatica antigens, captured circulating antigens were detected by an SEA technique. A total of 85.1% of the samples examined was considered positive by using the IEA-test, whereas this percentage was of 37.3% by the SEA test. Using the two enzymatic probes, only the 38.3% resulted positive to both immunoassay probes. Our data indicate that circulating antigen detection assay in combination with results of antibody detection may offer a more reliable diagnostic technique than classic coprologic ones, with results very appropriate for epidemiologic studies carried out on a wide area.
