Abstract
Background
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a globally significant zoonosis requiring improved, cost-effective serodiagnosis. Accurate detection is often hindered by cross-reactive host contaminants in crude hydatid cyst fluid (HCF). This study aimed to purify and evaluate the immunogenicity of native Antigen B (AgB) extracted from sheep HCF for indirect ELISA detection of human CE.
