Strongyloides stercoralis is a potentially dangerous parasite, particularly if unsuspected and present in immunocompromised patients or in patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs.
The ELISA uses the structural similarities existing between S. stercoralis and S. ratti antigens to detect antibodies in human sera.

Monoclonal antibodies for the coprological diagnosis of microsporidiosis.
Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis are important opportunistic pathogens.
These intracellular protists, predominantly infect the epithelium of the small intestine causing chronic diarrhoea and malabsorption in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or after organ transplantation in recipients treated with powerful immunosuppressors.

ELISA kit for the diagnosis of human toxocarosis
Human toxocarosis (visceral larva migrans) is caused by an infection with the round worm Toxocara ssp. larvae. Dogs infected with adult worms release in their feces a large number of infectious eggs into the environment. After ingestion of eggs by the patient, the infecting larvae begin a somatic migration through the inner organs, releasing immunogenic compounds globally known as excretory/secretory (E/S) antigens.

ELISA kit for the diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis in humans
Alveolar echinococcosis is caused by an infection with the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis and is a very dangerous disease for humans. Adult worms mature in the intestine of the definitive host (usually fox, occasionally dog or cat) and the eggs are released in the feces. Accidental ingestion of soil, berries or vegetables contaminated with eggs iniate the infection in humans.

ELISA kit for the diagnosis of echinococcoses in humans
Cystic hydatid disease is caused by an infection with the cestode Echinococcus granulosus and is potentially dangerous for humans. New cases are mostly found in areas where dogs and livestock coexist. Adult worms mature in the intestine of the dog (definitive host) and the eggs are released in the feces. By an accidental ingestion in humans, oncospheres hatch in the duodenum, penetrate the intestine and are carrieds via the bloodstream to various organs.

ELISA kit for the diagnosis of filarioses in humans
Human filarioses are caused by a variety of nematodes (Loa Loa, Onchocerca volvulus, Dracunculus medinensis, Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi). The diagnosis is based on clinical evidences, an history of living in an endemic area, hypereosinophilia and the detection of microfilariae. The finding of an adult filaria is a proof of infection but is frequently unsuccessful. Serological methods using indirect immunofluorescence assays on frozen sections of adult worms of animal origin (Acanthocheilonema viteae, Dirofilaria immitis, Setaria sp.) and immuno-electrophoresis can both help for diagnosis.

ELISA kit for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis in humans
Two hundred million people are suffering from schistosomiasis in sub-topical areas. Patients become infected when bathing in contaminated fresh water.
The disease is confirmed by microscopy when eggs are detected in stool or urine samples. However when the worm burden is light or during the invasive phase, few or no eggs are excreted. In such situations the serodiagnosis is a useful complement to parasitolgical tests.

ELISA kit for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniosis in humans and dogs
The parasites of the genus Leishmania are intracellular protists transmitted by an insect vector. Traditionally three forms of leishmanioses are clinically distinguished : One of these, visceral leishmaniosis, is caused by Leishmania infantum in the Mediterranean area and in South America and by L. donovani in Eastern Africa and in Southern Asia. This infection affects millions of individuals and is frequently lethal if left untreated. Recently a growing number of patients developed visceral leishmaniosis during a co-infection with HIV. Epidemiologically, the domestic dog is very sensitive to infection by L. infantum and is an important reservoir host for the transmission of the human disease.
