Fascioliasis caused by F. hepatica and F. gigantica is one of the major public health problems in the world and in Egypt. Epidemics of fascioliasis have caused extensive suffering and economic losses. Diagnosis of fascioliasis is based on clinical findings as well as laboratory tests. The parasitological diagnosis is based on identification of eggs in stool, duodenal contents or bile.

In addition coproantigen detection should considered being non-invasive in field surveys for antigen detection assay; purified antibody and antigen were needed.
