Feacal worm egg counts do not reliably detect horses infected with ''A.perfoliata''. An '''ELISA''' to test for the host antibody response to tapeworms has been developed with a reported sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 95%.<ref>Proudman, C.J, Trees, A.J (1996) Use of excretory/secretory antigens for the serodiagnosis of ''Anoplocephala perfoliata'' cestodosis. ''Vet Parasitol'', 61:239-247.</ref> Although this test is useful for detecting horses with a high intensity of infection, it measures past and current infection so must be interpreted in light of the anthelmintic history. More recently, a '''coproantigen capture ELISA''' has demonstrated some promise in a small sample of horses.<ref name="Kania">Kania, S.A, Reinemeyer, C.R (2005) ''Anoplocephala perfoliata'' coproantigen detection: a preliminary study.
