Item type: Item , Field Evaluation of a Coproantigen Detection Test for Fascioliasis Diagnosis and Surveillance in Human Hyperendemic Areas of Andean Countries(Public Library of Science, 2012) M. Adela Valero; María Victoria Periago; Ignacio Pérez‐Crespo; René Angles; Fidel Villegas; C. Aguirre; W Strauss; José R. Espinoza; Patricia Herrera-Velit; Angélica TerashimaThe coproantigen-detection test allows for high sensitivity and specificity, fast large mass screening capacity, detection in the chronic phase, early detection of treatment failure or reinfection in post-treated subjects, and usefulness in surveillance programs. However, this technique falls short when evaluating the fluke burden on its own.
