| description | Porcine cysticercosis is widely distributed in developing countries. Many tools were developed for effective control of the tapeworm in endemic countries. Tongue examination, meat inspection and Ag-ELISA were widely used in epidemiological survey. Both tongue examination and meat inspection are highly specific but less sensitive. To improve performance of Ag-ELISA, unambiguous test based on nanobodies was performed. Immunodiagnostic tests based on PCR, flows through assay (FTA), Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption–Ionization Time of Flight (SELDI-TOF) were also developed. Less data were reported using spatial statistical analysis hence multiples approaches were available for effective epidemiological survey of porcine cysticercosis. |
