Parasites can cause a range of diseases, from mild to severe, potentially leading to issues such as brain, lung, and nervous system damage. Parasites are often transmitted through contaminated food, water, contact with animals, or infected feces.

Parasite testing aims to identify the presence of infectious agents, evaluate the level of infection, and provide appropriate treatment options. Accurate identification of the parasite helps prevent the spread within the community, ensuring the health of individuals and society.

Toxocara IgG

IgG antibody test for diagnosing toxocariasis when coming into contact with infected dogs and cats or consuming food and water contaminated with roundworm eggs.

Strongyloides IgG

IgG antibody test for diagnosing strongyloidiasis, contracted when the larval stage of the worm penetrates the skin, maturing into adult worms in the esophagus and intestines.

Fasciola IgG

IgG antibody test for diagnosing large liver fluke infection, often contracted from raw or undercooked food and water.

E. histolytica IgG

Antibody test for diagnosing intestinal amoebiasis, contracted through consuming contaminated, unsanitary food and water.

Schistosoma IgG

Antibody test for diagnosing schistosomiasis, contracted through skin contact while swimming or being in contaminated water. Schistosoma parasites live in the blood vessels of the digestive or urinary system.

Ascaris lumbricoides IgM

Parasite causing disease when ingesting food containing roundworm eggs. Infected individuals may be asymptomatic, especially if the worm burden is low. However, symptoms like fever, diarrhea, and serious issues may arise if the worms migrate to other body organs.

Cysticercosis IgM

IgM antibody test for diagnosing cysticercosis, contracted from food and water contaminated with tapeworm eggs from human feces.

Clonorchis sinensis IgM

Parasite causing disease in the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Contracted by eating raw or undercooked fish containing this parasite.

Echinococcus IgM

Echinococcosis (hydatidosis) is an infection caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus. Humans can become intermediate hosts by ingesting eggs through the feces of infected animals. This condition is known as hydatid disease or echinococcosis.

Toxoplasma gondii IgM

Positive IgM antibodies indicate recent infection

Angiostrongylus cantonensis IgM

IgM antibody test for diagnosing roundworm infection through consuming raw or undercooked food and water.

Trichinella spiralis IgM

The Trichinella spiralis IgM test is a useful tool for early detection of trichinosis, a parasitic infection caused by consuming raw or undercooked meat. By detecting IgM antibodies, which appear soon after infection, this test helps accurately diagnose trichinosis. If you experience symptoms such as muscle pain, fever, fatigue, swelling around the eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting, consider taking this test. The simple procedure involves taking a small blood sample from a vein in your arm. A positive result confirms that you have been infected with Trichinella spiralis, while a negative result may indicate that you are not infected or the test was done too early for detection.
