Improved serological testing for bovine schistosomiasis in Eastern Africa
Both COG and calpain are promising candidates for serological screening and later inclusion in portable diagnostic tests for S. bovis infection in cattle. Such future diagnostic assays will enable better point-of-detection monitoring, and once scalable, aid in the control of disease in cattle.
