Abstract |
Locality prepared crude F. hepatica adult antigen for ocular instillation was evaluated in live sheep and buffaloes compared to stool examination and macroscopic examination of these animal after being slaughtered. Ocular instillation proved to be cheap, simple, time consuming, but could not replace stool examination, due to false positive cross reactions.
