The efficacy of ELISA commercial kits for the screening of equine infectious anemia virus infection.

چکیده
The most used and reliable indicator of Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) infection is the detection of its specific antibodies in horse serum. In the present study, the performance of two commercial ELISA tests for the detection of EIAV antibodies as well as the potential advantages of their use as an EIAV infection screening tool were evaluated in 302 horse serum samples. Both ELISA assays showed 100% diagnostic sensitivity, and 92.3-94.3% diagnostic specificity. Discordant results were analyzed by immunoblot. The results showed that both ELISA tests are very efficient at detecting EIAV infected animals, allowing to identify a higher number of positive horse cases. Thus, ELISA assays can be useful tools in EIA control and eradication.

Infectious bronchitis (IB) is a very contagious disease caused by a coronavirus (IBV). In chickens, thevirus affects the respiratory, reproductive, and urinary systems. This study was carried out to determine theseroprevalence of anti-IBV antibodies in domestic village chickens. Serum samples of 300 domestic villagechickens from Esfahan (centeral Iran) were collected and examined for the presen...

Background and purpose: Recently, use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and rapid Immunochromatographic test (ICT) in diagnosis and screening of patients with hepatitis B reduced the risk of hepatitis during blood transfusion. However, the incidence of hepatitis B is very high in high-risk patients such as hemodialysis, thalassemia and hemophilia which receive a lot of blood transfus...

An indirect enzyme–linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for screening of antibody to avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Antigen was prepared from whole-purified IBV Massachusetts serotype (BR 801 strain). Optimum dilution with minimum background for antigen concentration, rabbit anti-chicken conjugate and sera in developed ELISA was determined 0.1μg/ml, 1:3000 and 1:100, respe...

BACKGROUND ELISAs are known to have a higher diagnostic sensitivity than the agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) when employed for serological diagnosis of equine infectious anaemia (EIA). For this purpose, an "in-house" and five commercial ELISAs available in Italy were assessed by the National Reference Centre for EIA for their analytic specificity (Sp); precocity, defined as capability of detect...

We recently reported a highly protective attenuated live virus vaccine for equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) based on a proviral construct (EIAVUKDeltaS2) with a genetically engineered mutation in the viral S2 gene that eliminates expression of this accessory protein. While the EIAVUKDeltaS2 vaccine provides protection from detectable infection by experimental challenge with highly virulent...
