Comparisons of mean percent positivity (PP) value by Fasciola hepatica excretory/secretory (ES) and recombinant cathepsin L1 (rCL1) ELISAs for serum from collected from sheep (N = 12) (A) and cattle (N = 4) (B) experimentally infected with F. hepatica at selected time points. For 9 weeks post infection (wpi) sera from experimentally infected sheep tested against rCL1 (dark grey box), samples were diluted 1:2000 rather than 1:400. Sheep (N = 19) (C) and adult dairy cattle before drying off (N = 11), naturally infected with F. hepatica. (E) PP values of calves (N = 10) naturally infected with F. hepatica over their first year grazing season by ES ELISA. Error bars indicated +/- one standard deviation about the mean PP value. (F) comparisons of PP value by ES and rCL1 ELISA for naturally infected calves at before turn-out (March) and at housing (September). Note, y-axis scales are adjusted for the range of PP values per assay.
