A short, reliable, highly reproducible complement fixation test for the serological diagnosis of contagious equine metritis.
A complement fixation test, using round-bottomed microtitration plates and an 8 channel microdiluter, based on that used for brucellosis by Herr, Huchzermeyer, Te Brugge, Williamson, Roos & Schiele, 1985, has been developed for use on the sera of horses to detect antibodies to the contagious equine metritis organism. The results with 2 known positive sera tested 116 times in 27 separate tests w...
متن کاملBrucellosis in cattle, sheep and goats: diagnosis, control and vaccination*
Reports received from forty-eight countries constitute a representative sample which demonstrates the universality of the problems created by brucellosis, and the wide range of control measures which have been adopted. Among the forty-eight countries, thirteen have obtained complete eradication of the disease, seventeen are in the process of more or less advanced clearance, eight have a vaccina...
متن کاملComplement fixation test to assess humoral immunity in cattle and sheep vaccinated with Brucella abortus RB51.
The live attenuated Brucella abortus strain RB51 is a rifampin-resistant, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-chain-deficient mutant of virulent B. abortus 2308. The reduced O-chain content in RB51 prevents this bacterium from inducing antibodies detectable by the conventional serologic tests for bovine brucellosis diagnosis that mainly identify antibodies to LPS. The absence of available serologic test...
متن کاملSerological Diagnosis of Brucellosis
Methods: Review the recent literature on brucellosis serology diagnostic tests. The choice of the testing strategy depends on the prevailing brucellosis epidemiological situation and the goal of testing. Results: The ‘gold standard’ for the diagnosis of brucellosis is isolation and identification of the causative bacterium, a member of Brucella sp. Isolation of Brucella sp. requires high securi...
متن کاملComplement fixation test for the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
Sera from 43 patients were tested for complement-fixing antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi; these patients included 8 with confirmed Lyme disease, 21 who were serologically positive but not likely to have Lyme disease, and 14 who were serologically negative. Seven individuals, all confirmed Lyme disease patients, had complement-fixing antibodies. Complement fixation may be a useful confirmatory...
