The authors propose the utilisation of an heterologous antigen, Schistosoma bovis for the diagnosis of human schistosomiases by enzyme immunoassay. The method is particularly recommended for the detection of S. haematobium and S. intercalatum diseases. It is sensitive and reproducible, its specificity being only limited by the existence of cross-reactions with some tissular helminthiases.
