Antigen detection in urine using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is more
sensitive than fecal examination for diagnosis of opisthorchiasis and for assessment of the …

To combat and eventually eliminate the transmission of the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini,
an accurate and practical diagnostic test is required. A recently established urine antigen …

Antigen detected in urine for the diagnosis of opisthorchiasis has a low daily variation;
however, the longer term variability in antigen concentrations is unknown. In this study, we …
