Test System Tiatop-Strip

In Russia, there is a growing epidemic of helminth infection - opisthorchiasis. The larvae of this parasite develop in the liver of birds, humans and animals, thereby causing serious harm to health. Diagnosis of diseases requires the use of special tests. One of the most effective of them is the TiaTop-strip test system.

The TiaTopstrip test is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that allows you to determine the presence of antibodies to opisthorchis antigens. TIATOP - strips are the most effective enzyme immunoassay method for identifying worms and parasitic Trichinella in meat. They are ready-to-use strips consisting of one set of reagents, which makes them more accessible and convenient to use. These tests are used to diagnose opisthorchiasis. They make it possible to determine whether there are traces of this parasitic disease in the body. Under normal conditions, human blood does not contain specific antibodies to this pathogen, that is, the results of Tiap Top Strips are negative. If a blood test is taken by a person who has recovered from opisthorchiasis, the result will be positive. This is due to the fact that restoration of health occurs due to the formation of stable immunity to pathogens, which results in the formation of a large number of specific antibodies in the patient’s blood.
