<scp>B</scp>ayesian modelling to estimate the test characteristics of coprology, coproantigen <scp>ELISA</scp> and a novel real‐time <scp>PCR</scp> for the diagnosis of taeniasis

Abstract

We urge for additional studies exploring possible cross-reactions of the copro-Ag ELISA and for the use of more sensitive tests, such as copro-PCR, for the detection of tapeworm carriers, which is a key factor in controlling the parasite in endemic areas.
