Abstract
The passive haemagglutination test using T.saginata whole antigen was employed for the detection of cysticercosis among 200 white cattle and 100 buffaloes and the results were compared with the routine postmortem examination. There was a higher percentage (13.5%) of positive evidence in the serological test than the visual findings (5.5%) in white cattle. No cysticerci could be observed in buffalo carcasses while 9% of them were serologically positive. The T.saginata antigen was also useful in detecting T.solium infection among human cases.
