ABSTRACT
Borkataki S, Islam S, Sarma DK, Borkakaty MR, Goswami P. Sero diagnosis of Cysticercus cellulosae in pigs. Onl J Vet
Res., 30 (9): 552-557, 2026. We infected pigs with ~ 1,000,000 Tania solium eggs orally. Sera from these pigs was tested for antigen and by 90 days
we found 100% infection by ELISA, and ~75% by Agar Gel Precipitation Tests (AGPT) and Immunoelectrophoresis
(CCIEP). By AGPT or CCIEP highest titres occurred in
1:10, 1:30 and 1:20 fluid antigen. However in sera collected on 10th,30th, 45th, 60th ,80th
and 90th days we found no reaction with in those given purified
fractioned fluid and membrane and scolex antigen.
Key Words: Sero-diagnosis, cysticercosis, pigs.
