Abstract
An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with Dicrocoelium dendriticum excretory/secretory antigens was used to evaluate the presence of serum antibodies against the trematode in 738 sheep randomly chosen in Sardinia (Italy). Coprological sedimentation was used to discover egg-output. Seropositivity was detected in 86.2% tested sheep, whereas faecal prevalence was 6.7%; all that were faecal-positive also were ELISA-positive.Entities:
