Various immunodiagnostic tests gave different results with different antigens. Highest sensitivity (92·5%) was obtained with ELISA using 1st peak antigen and lowest sensitivity was obtained with DID. However, 88·4% and 84·6% sensitivity was obtained with IHA and CIEP respectively using scolex antigen. CIEP gave better results as compared to IEP. Crude antigen gave high sensitivity but less specificity. It was concluded that CIEP can be used as a field test for the anti-mortem diagnosis and ELISA can be employed for laboratory confirmation of T. solium cysticercosis in pigs using frationated 1st peak antigen.
