Popis: The immunofluorescent test utilizing rabbit antisera against Cryptosporidium oocysts isolated from dairy calves was compared with the proSpect Cryptosporidium Microtiter Commercial Assay which is an enzyme immunoassay utilizing monospecific antibody to Cryptosporidium specific antigen (CSA). The former test proved to be by far more sensitive than the latter one in diagnosing human cases positive for cryptosporidiosis by the modified acid fast stain.
