Abstract
The efficiency of leukocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) as an in vitro method in detecting hydatidosis in animals was studied. The mean percentage efficacy of LMIT in diagnosing the disease was 73.41, 70.0 0 and 75.00, and 75.00 in cattle, buffaloes and sheep, respectively, g iving an overall efficacy of 73.39%. The test was nonsignificant betwe en the species of animals (X2<0.01031). LMIT also revealed an overall percentage of false positive (39.47) and false negative (26.60). This diagnostic test was applied in cattle and buffaloes for the first time .
