Abstract
Diagnostic specificity of 36 and 91 kDa proteins of Spirometra erlnacei plerocercold (sparganuml was evaluated by micro-ELISA In tissue Invading nematodiasls such as 25 gnathostomiasis, 33 angiostrongyllasls, 22 trichlnellosis patients, and 20 normal control. All but one patient each in 3 nematodlases showed the antibody levels of negative range. The positively reacted patients were regarded as concomitant Infections of sparganum because Immunized or hypennfected rabbit sennn of the nematodes did not react crossly to the antigen.
