Seroprevalence of Human Fascioliasis Using Indirect ELISA in Isfahan District, Central Iran In 2013

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to detect the seroprevalence of human fascioliasis in Isfahan County, central Iran in 2013. METHODS: Overall, 471 sera samples were collected from people recalled randomly to 20 health centers in the city of Isfahan and 10 related villages in 2014. Sera were exa...

description BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to detect the seroprevalence of human fascioliasis in Isfahan County, central Iran in 2013. METHODS: Overall, 471 sera samples were collected from people recalled randomly to 20 health centers in the city of Isfahan and 10 related villages in 2014. Sera were examined using ELISA test. A questionnaire was filled out for each participant. RESULTS: Altogether eight cases (1.7%) were seropositive which had the OD absorbance in ELISA test more than the calculated cutoff of 0.36. All of them were female. One positive subject had a history of consuming Delar (Local dish) and three seropositive cases with history of eating Zeitoon-Parvadeh (Proceeded olive). CONCLUSION: Isfahan County might be considered as one area apt for fascioliasis. More studies in terms of veterinary investigation and verifying the risk factors are necessary.
