Evaluation of Fas2-ELISA in milk and serum for the detection of Fasciola hepatica infection in cattle
Fasciola hepatica causes a significant loss in milk and meat production in cattle farming worldwide. The treatment and control of F. hepatica infection in cattle raised in regions with a high prevalence of the infection requires sensitive, specific, and affordable diagnostic tests. This study aims to evaluate two tests, Fas2-ELISA and ES-ELISA, for the diagnosis of fascioliasis in beef and dairy cattle from two livestock basins in Peru. Serum and fecal samples were collected from beef cattle slaughtered at an abattoir in Lima; serum, milk, and fecal samples were collected from F. hepatica naturally infected dairy cows in the San Lorenzo district, located in the Mantaro Andean Valley, and dairy cows raised in university stables in La Molina district in Lima. ES-ELISA detects IgG antibodies against F. hepatica excretory-secretory products (ES) from adult flukes, and Fas2-ELISA detects the Fas2 antigen, a cysteine proteinase purified from F. hepatica adult flukes. The diagnostic parameters for beef cattle were determined using inspection for F. hepatica flukes in the liver as a reference test. ES-ELISA for the detection of F. hepatica infection in beef cattle showed a sensitivity (Se) of 93.2 % (95 % CI, 83.5–98.1 %) and specificity (Sp) of 88 % (95 % CI, 80.4–93.5 %). Fas2-ELISA showed a Se and Sp of 98.3 % (95 % CI, 91–99 %) and 93.6 % (95 % CI, 87–97 %), respectively. The diagnostic parameters for detecting F. hepatica infection in milk samples by ES-ELISA showed a Se of 100 % (95 % CI, 92–100 %) and Sp of 83 % (95 % CI, 65–94 %), Fas2-ELISA showed a Se of 98 % (95 % CI, 89–100 %) and Sp of 93 % (95 % CI, 78–99 %) using coproscopy as a reference test. These results suggest that Fas2-ELISA could be a useful test for detecting F. hepatica infection in milk samples from dairy cattle and may be further developed as a bulk-tank milk (BTM) test to estimate the prevalence of F. hepatica infection in dairy herds.
期刊介绍:
The journal Veterinary Parasitology has an open access mirror journal,Veterinary Parasitology: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
This journal is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal. Papers of geographically limited (local) interest which are not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate why their paper is relevant to a broader readership.
Parasitological studies on laboratory animals fall within the scope of the journal only if they provide a reasonably close model of a disease of domestic animals. Additionally the journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as disease reservoirs to domestic animals, or as a zoonotic reservoir. Case studies considered to be unique or of specific interest to the journal, will also be considered on occasions at the Editors'' discretion. Papers dealing exclusively with the taxonomy of parasites do not fall within the scope of the journal.
