antigen (PGA) with nanoparticlessandwich ELISA, compared to the traditional sandwich ELISA Results: Sandwich ELISA achieved sensitivity of 93%, specificity of 92.5%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 95.7% and negativepredictive value (NPV) of 88%, while nano-sandwich ELISA achieved sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 95.8%, 95%, 97.2% and 92.6%, respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, our research study provides that nano-sandwich ELISA isa well-established reference test for diagnosis of giardiasis.
