| Abstract | ||||
| The present study aimed to evaluate both intradermal test (IDT) and ELISA test in the diagnosis of Fasciola spp < em>. at El-Dakhla Oasis, El-wadi El-Gadid, Egypt. The intradermal test was carried out in 100 cattle that proved to be negative to Fasciola spp. infection by fecal examination. ELISA test was conducted on 96 sera samples from injected cattle. The prevalence of infection was 32% and 56.25% for the intradermal test and ELISA test, respectively. All positive results with the Intradermal test were also positive with ELISA. The results of this study revealed that the Intradermal test and ELISA could become a useful tool for the diagnosis of fascioliasis in cattle. | ||||
