Not AvailableToxocarosis is a widespread zoonosis caused by the ascarid Toxocara canis. Serodiagnosis
of toxocarosis is carried out using Toxocara excretory-secretory and recombinant antigens. In
the present study T. canis arginine kinase gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction,
cloned in a prokaryotic expression vector and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant
protein was used in IgG-ELISA for detection of T. canis infection in the adult dogs. Further
evaluation of this recombinant antigen in the diagnosis of T. canis infection in dogs is under
way.Not Availabl
