In the present study, we developed and tested indirect ELISAs based on recombinant procathepsin L1 (rFhpCL1), rFhpCL2, or rFhpCL5, in order to investigate which of these targets are best recognized by sera from sheep and cattle naturally infected with F. Finally, the r values obtained on comparing the four ELISA methods for Fasciola-infected cattle and sheep sera are shown in Table 3 . These results suggest that the use of a single recombinant cathepsin/ procathepsin as target antigen in ELISAs for serodiagnosis of fascioliasis may limit the sensitivity of the assay when testing sera from some species, particularly cattle. (2001) who tested sera from sheep and cattle harboring other parasites, mainly nematodes, suggesting that the cross-reactivity may be due to common epitopes between recombinant Fasciola cathepsins and antigens present in other parasites. ./cache/cord-351498-bmq6zcb0.txt ./txt/cord-351498-bmq6zcb0.txt
