Toxocara canine roundworm canis IgG Bot Test
With the Toxocara canis blood test you can easily determine if there is an infection with the parasite Toxocara canis. This test uses the blot test method, an innovative and rapid technique that specifically detects the presence of antibodies against Toxocara canis in the blood.
What is the Blottest method?
The blot test method is a diagnostic technique in which the patient's blood sample is tested for the presence of specific IgG antibodies produced by the immune system during infection with Toxocara canis.
This method is quick and reliable, and it provides a simple way to detect the infection without the need for complex procedures.
What is being tested?
The test measures IgG anti-Toxocara antibodies in the blood. The presence of these antibodies indicates infection with the parasite, even if no symptoms are yet present.
A positive result may indicate a recent or previous infection with Toxocara canis, a parasite often transmitted from dogs to humans, especially children who come in contact with dog feces or contaminated soil.
