The Diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unsolved issue due to difficulties in obtaining of patient's hydatid cyst appropriate for antigen extraction. This study evaluated the suitability of HC protoscolices somatic antigens (HCPsS-Ag) fractions from animal origin to substitute that extracted from HC of patients in diagnosis of hydatidosis using enzyme-linked immunoelectro-transfer blot and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Eight fractions in HC-G6 from patients react specifically versus HC-G6 infected patient's sera. Five of them (28, 32, 38, 59 and 89 Kilo Dalton (KDa) and two of them (28 KDa and 45 KDa) reacted versus HC-G1 and HC-G4 infected sheep and equine sera, respectively. Six fractions in HCPsS-Ag-G1 of sheep react versus HC-G1 sheep infected sera, four (28, 32, 52 and 58 KDa) and two of them reacted versus HC-G6 and HC-G4 infected patient and equine sera, respectively. Two fractions only in HCPsS-Ag-G4 of equine reacted versus infected human and sheep sera. This fraction displayed the same degree of ELISA value versus different infected sera with a significantly perfect classification for kappa agreement and non-statistically significant difference ( p  ≥ 0.05) for ELISA Optical density values of the positive samples without cross-reaction versus other parasites antibodies in sera. HCPsS-Ag from HC genotypes that developed in humans and animals as HC-G6 and HC-G1 can substitute each other for diagnosis of infection than antigens extracted from non-zoonotic HC-G4. The fraction at 28 KDa is the only fraction that can be extracted from any animals HC and used in diagnosis of zoonotic hydatidosis.

Animal hydatid cyst genotypes as a potential substitute for human hydatid cyst as a source of antigen for diagnosis of zoonotichydatidosis
