Aim: In the diagnosis of brucellosis, production microorganisms in blood or bone marrow culture is considered gold standard. But it not always possible to produce microorganism. For this reason, serological tests are used diagnose brucellosis. Rose Bengal test (RB), Standard Tube Agglutination (STA), Coombs Test (CT) and 2-Mercaptoethanol (2-ME) common methods. Immunocapture-agglutination (ICA)...

APPLICATION OF ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAYS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF BOVINE BRUCELLOSIS IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL, BRAZIL. The results of an indirect ELISA (I-ELISA) and a competitive ELISA (C-ELISA) for detection of antibody to Brucella abortus in cattle were compared with those of conventional serological tests. The sensitivity of I-ELISA using 230 sera from infected animals was 98.6% and the sp...

Recent asteroseismic analyses indicate the presence of strong (B  10 G) magnetic fields in the cores of many red giant stars. Here, we examine the implications of these results for the evolution of stellar magnetic fields, and we make predictions for future observations. Those stars with suppressed dipole modes indicative of strong core fields should exhibit moderate but detectable quadrupole ...
