Abstract

Aim: The aim of the project is to develop a diagnostic test for cysticercosis by Immunoassay techniques.
Materials & Methods: Taeniasis is also diagnosed by serological tests like IHA, CoA, ELISA and Western Blotting.
Results: Among the immunological techniques for cysticercosis diagnosis IHA gave some false positives. Compare to IHA, CoA gave good results. But compare to these techniques Dot ELISA and Western blot gave good results. IHA and CoA gave cross reactivity with patient sera.
Conclusion: ELISA and Western blot gave good results compared to that of other tests. But in rural areas, especially in the developing countries, these tests (ELISA, Western Blot) faced with many difficulties. The IHA (Indirect Hemagglutination test) and CoA (Co Agglutination) tests are proved to be simple and rapid more over cost effective for the diagnosis of cysticercosis.
