A commercially available ELISA for detecting antibodies to liver fluke was evaluated for use in Australia. Milk and serum samples from cattle and sheep in which infection with Fasciola hepatica was confirmed by detection of eggs in faeces were used to estimate sensitivity. Similar samples collected from cattle and sheep outside the F. hepatica-endemic area were used to estimate specificity. The ELISA was also evaluated for detecting antibodies to F. hepatica in milk from sheep and antibodies to Fasciola gigantica in sera from cattle and buffaloes, but with small numbers of samples. In cattle, the sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA were 98.2% and 98.3% using serum and 97.7% and 99.3% using milk. In infected herds, 41.4% and 41.5% of animals were positive in the serum and milk ELISAs, respectively, whereas F. hepatica eggs were found in faecal samples from 26.5% of animals. In sheep, the sensitivity of the ELISA was 96.9% and the specificity was 99.4%. In infected flocks, 60.2% of animals were positive in the serum ELISA and F. hepatica eggs were found in faecal samples 52.2% of animals. There was perfect agreement in the ELISA between paired serum and milk samples collected from ewes. The assay detected antibodies in sera from cattle and buffaloes with natural and experimental F. gigantica infections. In the experimentally infected animals, antibodies were detected 2 weeks post-infection. We conclude that the ELISA will be a valuable tool for diagnosing F. hepatica infections in cattle and sheep. The assay may also be useful for diagnosing F. gigantica infections but further studies are required to establish sensitivity and specificity. 相似文献

Background
Fasciola hepatica is a helminth parasite of global importance in livestock, with major economic impact. However information on F. hepatica infections in Irish pasture-based dairy herds is limited. Therefore this study was conducted in order to determine the prevalence, seasonality and management factors associated with F. hepatica. A total of 319 Irish dairy herds were selected for this study. Bulk tank milk (BTM) samples were collected from 290 dairy farms on a quarter year basis, while from a further 29 dairy farms BTM samples were collected on a monthly basis to provide a more detailed pattern of F. hepatica exposure in Irish herds. BTM samples were analysed using a commercially available F. hepatica antibody detection ELISA. Furthermore, within-herd prevalence of F. hepatica was assessed in a subset of these 29 herds (n = 17); both individual serum samples and bulk tank milk samples were collected.Results
A within-herd prevalence of ≤ 50 % was found for herds with negative bulk tank milk samples. The mean prevalence of the 290 study herds was 75.4 % (Range 52 %–75.1 %), with the highest prevalence being observed in November (75.1 %). The seasonal pattern of F. hepatica shows elevated antibodies as the grazing season progressed, reaching a peak in January. A significant association was found between F. hepatica and age at first calving.Conclusion
This study demonstrates that F. hepatica is present in a large proportion of Irish dairy herds and provides a basis on which control practices, particularly in adult dairy cows, can be reviewed. 相似文献6.

试验选择6只健康白山羊(经粪便学检查和Dot-ELISA检测,确认无肝片吸虫感染)随机分成Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组,其中Ⅰ、Ⅱ组山羊每只分别1次口服接种200、500个肝片吸虫囊蚴,Ⅲ组作为不感染对照组,每周颈静脉采血1次,连续11周,检测肝片吸虫感染后山羊血清中IL-2、TNF-α水平的变化和外周血淋巴细胞分泌IL-2的能力。结果表明,山羊试验感染肝片吸虫后,Ⅰ组山羊血清IL-2水平在感染后有所下降,而Ⅱ组山羊血清IL-2水平在感染后有所升高;感染不同剂量肝片吸虫的山羊血清TNF-α水平和淋巴细胞IL-2分泌水平均有不同程度的升高,在感染后第1周淋巴细胞就有反应,并且对非特异性刺激原和特异性刺激原的应答都有显著升高。这一结果提示,TNF-α可能参与肝片吸虫对肝的损伤过程,肝片吸虫感染剂量对宿主的IL-2含量影响较大,同时IL-2在宿主防御免疫中有重要作用。 相似文献

本研究扩增肝片吸虫(Fasciola hepatica,Fh)谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)基因,并进行同源性分析。根据GenBank发表的部分Fh GST基因序列设计并合成一对特异性引物,利用RT-PCR方法扩增出Fh GST基因完整的开放阅读框(open reading frame,ORF),测定序列,使用分子生物学软件进行同源性分析。获得Fh GST基因全长682 bp,编码218个氨基酸,与澳大利亚分离的肝片吸虫GST同源性较高,与大片吸虫和卫氏并殖吸虫的GST也有较高的同源性。不同虫株GST基因具有较高的同源性,因此Fh GST蛋白不适合用作诊断抗原,但由于其存在交叉反应,GST基因作为分子疫苗的候选基因具有重要意义。肝片吸虫GST基因的克隆,为进一步研究GST蛋白的功能和作用奠定了基础。 相似文献

Objective To describe two cases of infection with Fasciola hepatica i n young farmed emus, subacute and chronic fasci-olosis and a response to treatment of the flock with albenda-zole.
Procedure Gross lesions were found at necropsy and hepatic lesions in microscopic examination. The parasite recovered from one emu was identified by its morphological characteristics and an egg count reduction test was carried out after treatment of the flock with albendazole.
Results Hepatic lesions resembling subacute and chronic fasciolosis of ruminants were identified. An adult fluke was recovered from the liver of one of the birds and was identified as F hepatica . The eggs of the fluke were irregular in shape and size. No fluke eggs were identifiable in faeces of live emus 10 days after treatment of the flock with albendazole at a dose of 10 mg/kg.
Conclusions This is the first reported case of infection with F hepatica i n farmed emus and the first report of the occurrence of Fasciola infection is the class Aves. The irregular shape and size of the eggs may be attributable to infection of an aberrant host. Treatment with albendazole eliminated eggs from the faeces of the flock. 相似文献

一氧化氮(NO)在山羊感染肝片吸虫过程中作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
8~12月龄雄性山羊(n=5)人工感染肝片吸虫后,每周定时颈静脉采血1次,用硝酸还原酶法检测血清中一氧化氮(NO)的动态变化,并观察了NO与IgG抗体、嗜酸性粒细胞(EOS)之间的相关性.结果,山羊在感染后第1周,NO含量明显低于对照组,第2~6周或高或低呈波动趋势,自第6周后明显高于对照组,其中第7~8周达高峰,即(93.73±17.233)μmol/L,第7周与对照组相比P<0.01,第8、10周P<0.05;IgG抗体用间接ELISA最早在感染后第2周就可检出,并从第4周起保持高水平,第8~9周达到最高峰,血清中NO含量与IgG水平的相关系数为r=0.511(P<0.05),而对照组的NO与IgG相关系数为r=0.25(P>0.05);感染山羊在整个试验期间的EOS明显升高,其中第8周达峰值(P<0.01).本试验结果表明,NO、IgG和EOS在山羊感染肝片吸虫过程中的变化趋势基本一致并呈正相关,且与虫体在宿主体内的移行、发育密切关联,显示NO、IgG和EOS共同参与宿主抗肝片吸虫感染的作用. 相似文献

Sera from adult cattle with fluke-infected and normal livers were analyzed for γ-GT and AspAT activities. The analyses revealed no significant increases in either γ-GT or AspAT values of the animals with fascioliasis as compared with the non-infected animals. The advanced chronic stage of the infection characterized by hepatic fibrosis, limited injury of parenchyma and low fluke burdens may explain the lack of enzymatic increase. 相似文献

To determine the extent to which wild deer are contributing in the transmission of Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) livers from deer shot by hunters, farmers undertaking population control on their farms and vertebrate pest controllers were collected and frozen. The livers were later thawed, sliced and examined for the presence of adult flukes or evidence of past infection. Livers from 19 deer were examined (18 fallow [Dama dama] and one sambar [Rusa unicolor]). Seventeen of the fallow deer were animals collected on farms near Jindabyne, New South Wales. The remaining fallow deer was collected in the Australian Capital Territory and one sambar deer was collected in north-eastern Victoria. Nine of the 17 deer (53%) from the Jindabyne area were either infected with Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) or had thickened bile ducts indicating past infection. Infection levels in the infected animals varied widely from 3 liver fluke to over 50 per liver. No sign of infection was present in the deer from the Australian Capital Territory or Victoria. Fallow deer are wide-spread in the Jindabyne area and their population is increasing. It is likely their contribution to the maintenance and distribution of F. hepatica to livestock in the Jindabyne area, and in other livestock rearing areas of south-eastern Australia, is important and increasing. 相似文献
