Keywords:

Abstract
Cystic disease caused by Echinococcus ortleppi at the Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC), Cuc Phuong National Park is one of the main causes affecting the health and life of primates. The study was conducted to establish an ELISA reaction having disease diagnostic value in the primates, using antigens from cystic fluid. The studied results showed that sensitivity and specificity of ELISA method
were identified with 100% and 91.67%, respectively, with a threshold value of 0.25. This ELISA method would be applied to diagnose cysticercosis to minimize the loss of life for primates in EPRC.
