Taenia-specific antigen was detected in detergent-solubilized faecal extracts from T. solium<\/jats:italic>- and T. saginata<\/jats:italic>-infected hosts. Coproantigen from T. solium<\/jats:italic>-infected hamsters did not cross-react with faeces from rodents infected with Hymenolepis diminuta, H. citelli, H. micro-stoma, Necator americanus, Strongyloides ratti<\/jats:italic> or Nematospiroides dubius<\/jats:italic> and faeces from uninfected animals. When the T. saginata<\/jats:italic>-capture ELISA was tested with faecal samples positive for T. solium<\/jats:italic> antigen, no cross-reactions were obtained. However, faecal samples from humans infected with T. solium<\/jats:italic> or T. saginata<\/jats:italic>, including some with extremely low egg counts, were cross-reactive by either test. Nevertheless, considerably higher O.D. values were obtained with stool samples from Taenia<\/jats:italic> patients compared to Hymenolepis nana<\/jats:italic>-infected or uninfected individuals. Two individuals, infected with Taenia<\/jats:italic> sp. and positive for coproantigens by ELISA, became antigen-negative 6 days after treatment with Niclosamide. The possibility of developing species-specific immunodiagnostic tests for human taeniasis through coproantigen detection is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182000060686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T10:36:07Z","timestamp":1244198167000},"page":"473-477","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":158,"title":["Immunodiagnosis of taeniasis by coproantigen detection"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"J.
