Extract

The conglutinating complement absorption test (CCAT) has been used to detect Cysticercus tenuicollis (Taenia hydatigena cysticercus) infection in sheep and goats. Sera from naturally infected sheep and goats showing a titre above 1:40 were considered positive for cysticercosis. Experimentally infected lambs gave a higher antibody response than sheep and goats.
