    Abstract:
    The sensitivity of I. F. A. T. was compared with E. L. I. S. A. using the first method with cross-sections of adult Schistosoma mansoni (A. S. M.), and the second with ovular S. mansoni soluble extract (O. S. M.), the test sera from 86 schistosomiasis patients (32 with S. mansoni and 54 with S.haematobium) and 100 control sera. Despite the better response of S. mansoni sera in both methods, the significant level of antibody detection (maximum sensitivity for minimum non specificity) was higher for E. L. I. S. A., O. S. M. than for I. F. A. T., A. S. M., especially for urinary schistosomiasis.
