Abstract:
In this study, for the detection of Fasciola hepatica infection seroprevalence in Elaziğ region (Eastern Anatolia), the presence of F. hepatica IgG antibodies were investigated by using a home-made enzyme immunoassay, in the sera of 540 healthy volunteers (254 males, 286 females) from different age groups (age range: 0-81 yrs, mean age: 33 +/- 20 yrs). The total seropositivity rate in this region of our country was found 2.78%, with no differences between males and females (respectively, 2.76% and 2.8%). F. hepatica IgG positive subjects were then evaluated for the parameters of age, educational and socioeconomical status, and it was found that there were no statistically significant differences.
