Title: Serological screening profile with ELISA assay in chronic bovine fasciolosis in Bistrita-Nasaud area Screening serologic prin metoda ELISA in fascioloza cronica la bovine in zona Bistrita-Nasaud
Abstract: In our country Fasciolosis can be found in all the areas excepting the Blak Sea’s beach. The infested areas are the hills and the areas near the Carpathic mountains, and the fields of Transilvania (4), reason for what the infestion intensivity study at bovines is a real interest. The goal of this study was the making of experimental research of infestation intensivity with Fasciola hepatica of the bovines from areas Bistrita-Nasaud, by ELISA method. The researches were made in February 2007, in department of Parazitology and Parazitogical deases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca. There were harvested 45 samples of bovine sera that were cut in slaughter-house of SC Agro-Ardeal Srl, with headquarters in Orheiul Bistritei, county BistritaNasaud. The sera tests were examinated with ELISA assay for detedtion of antibody against Fasciola spp. From those 45 harvested samples, 29 samples were positive for Fasciola spp., by antibody detection with ELISA method (62%). There were 28% negative results on tested animals, and 10% from results were dubious. These results disclose the fact that infestation intensivity with Fasciola hepatica at bovines from Bistrita-Nasaud county is 62%.
