| contents | <p>Antibody responses (IgG) against <em>Taenia hydatigena </em>infection in dogs in Kenya were analysed in ELISA using excretory/secretory products of<em> T. hydatigena</em> scoleces derived from goat cysticercus cysts. Helminth infections of individual dogs were confirmed at autopsy. <em>T. hydatigena</em> worms were found in 89.5% of 143 dogs, and positive anti-<em>T. hydatigena</em> antibody levels were detected in 58.7% of infected dogs. Positive antiscolex antibody levels were detected in 40.0% of Turkana dogs uninfected with <em>T. hydatigena</em>, suggesting previous infection. Antibody was not detected in 34.4% of infected dogs. There was no relationship between individual <em>T. hydatigena</em> worm burdens and absorbance values for sera in ELISA. It was not possible to distinguish between sera from <em>T. hydatigena</em>-infected and uninfected dogs.</p> |
