A Comparative Study of an Elisa Test and an Indirect Immunofluorescence Test for Serological Diagnosis of Babesia Bovis Infection

چکیده
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF AN ELISA TEST AND AN INDIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE TEST FOR SEROLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF BABESIA BOVIS INFECTION. Detection of antibodies to Babesia bovis in cattle is essential for the understanding of the epidemiology of babesiosis and this study was concerned with comparing the indirect fluorescent antibody with the ELISA. Both assays gave rise to 100% sensitivity whilst the ELISA was shown to be marginally more specific at 98%. The ease of use and low cost of the ELISA would make it the more obvious choice in conducting future serological surveys for this parasite.

The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...
