Comparison of coprological and molecular techniques for the diagnosis of Anoplocephala perfoliata infection of the horse
Original language description
Anoplocephala perfoliata is the most common tapeworm parasite of horses and is incriminated as a significant cause of clinical disease. The sensitivities of common coprological diagnostic techniques for A. perfoliata infection vary considerably. The present work evaluated and compared the reliability of a recently described coprological FLOTAC technique as well as a modified flotation technique and traditional flotation technique with that of a PCR-based assay for diagnosis A. perfoliata infection. Of 43 faecal samples collected from horses bred on a single farm, 19 (44%) resulted positive for the presence of A. perfoliata eggs using the FLOTAC technique. From the 19 FLOTAC positive samples the 18 samples (42%) by using a modified flotation technique and 7 samples (16%) examined by traditional flotation technique were also positive. All collected samples were also subjected to a PCR protocol specific for regions of A. perfoliata ITSs. Four out of the 19 FLOTAC positive samples and six
