چکیده
HERR, S., TE BRUGGE, LESLEY A. & GUINEY, M. C. M., 1982. The value of the microtitre serum agglutination test as a second screening test in bovine brucellosis. Oruierstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 49, 23--28 (1982). The use of the serum agglutination test (SAT) as a 2nd screening test led to a reduction in false negative screening reactions especially in sera delayed in transit and provided an easy check on human error in the rose bengal test (RBT) and on each individual complement fixation test titre. The SAT in microtitration plates was more sensitive than when done in tubes and effected a saving of time, labour and materials.
