Article Synopsis
- Human toxocariasis is a neglected disease caused by a zoonotic roundworm and is mainly diagnosed through serology tests due to the lack of specific symptoms.
- The commonly used TES-ELISA test has reliability issues in areas with high parasitic prevalence, leading researchers to explore recombinant antigens as better diagnostic alternatives.
- The study developed and tested chimeric proteins that showed improved specificity and sensitivity compared to the traditional TES-ELISA test, making them promising candidates for future diagnostic methods.
