Echinococcosis antigen refers to the antigen secreted by the adult, larva or egg of Echinococcus granulosus, a parasitic tapeworm in humans or animals. Echinococcosis is a parasitic infection commonly found in dogs, wolves, foxes and other animals, and humans can contract the disease by ingesting meat or drinking water from infected animals. The Echinococcosis antigen test can be used to diagnose and monitor the condition of Echinococcosis infection.

Echinococcosis antigen detection methods include ELISA, Western blot, immunofluorescence and so on. These methods can detect Echinococcosis antigens in serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and other samples. The Echinococcosis antigen test can help diagnose and monitor the condition of Echinococcosis infection, as well as evaluate the effect of treatment. The test has high sensitivity and specificity, and can diagnose Echinococcosis infection at an early stage, thus improving treatment effectiveness.
