Sero-prevalence of virus neutralizing antibodies for rabies in different groups of dogs following vaccination
BACKGROUND Mass vaccination of dogs is considered fundamental for national rabies control programmes in Sri Lanka, as dog is the main reservoir and transmitter of the disease. METHODS Dogs were followed to determine the sero-prevalence of antibodies to the rabies virus. Altogether 510 previously vaccinated and unvaccinated dogs with owners (domestic dogs) and dogs without owners (stray dogs) ...
متن کاملComparison of the detection and quantification of rabies antibodies in canine sera
Rabies antibodies in canine sera were detected and quantified by methods: virus neutralisation test on mice (VNT), rapid fluorescence focus inhibition test (RFFIT), and fluorescent antibody virus neutralisation (FAVN). e results of rabies antibodies levels in non-vaccinated dogs obtained by all three methods were in correlation. e comparison of rabies antibody titres determined in vaccinated ...
متن کاملComparison of a Micro-Neutralization Test with the Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test for Measuring Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibodies.
The rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) is routinely used in the United States to measure rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (rVNA). RFFIT has a long history of reproducible and reliable results. The test has been modified over the years to use smaller volumes of reagents and samples, but requires a 50 μL minimum volume of test serum. To conduct pathogenesis studies, small laborat...
متن کاملComparison of rabies humoral antibody titers in rabbits and humans by indirect radioimmunoassay, rapid-fluorescent-focus-inhibition technique, and indirect fluorescent-antibody assay.
Rabies humoral antibodies were induced in eight New Zealand rabbits by a single intramuscular injection of inactivated suckling mouse brain rabies vaccine. The primary response to immunization was measured in blood samples taken at selected intervals for 6 months. The anamnestic response was measured in blood samples obtained 2 weeks after the rabbits received a booster immunization. The humora...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody test; a preliminary report.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody (F.T.A.) test described by Deacon, Falcone, and Harris (1957) was one of the procedures using treponemal antigens chosen for inclusion in the Serology Evaluation and Research Assembly (S.E.R.A.) Study carried out under the auspices of the United States Public Health Service in 1956-57 (U.S.P.H.S. Report, 1959). The test was shown to give very sensitive and sp...
