| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As diagnostic tools for detecting the causative round worms of human ascarid larval migrans in chickens and cattle, we developed ELISAs for detecting specific antibodies against Ascaris suum and Toxocara spp. (T. canis and T. cati). Using the tools, we conducted an epidemiological study and found that the causative round worms such as A. suum, T. canis and T. cati would be endemic in some of chicken and cattle farms. In addition, as new tools required for further epidemiological investigation, we developed real-time PCR for detecting A. suum DNA and nested multiplex PCR for differentiating A. suum, T. canis and T. cati.
