Comparison between antigen I and antigen II as regard to sensitivity for disease diagnosis, specificity among positive controls, and specificity among negative controls with other parasitic diseases using dot-blot assay

The sensitivity detected against Fasciola gigantica positive serum samples was 80% for antigen I compared to 100% for antigen II. The specificity detected against negative controls (no parasitic infection) was 90% for antigen I compared to 100% for antigen II. The specificity detected against other parasite positive samples was 70% for antigen I compared to 90% for antigen II.
