An indirect sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of the neogregarine Mattesia oryzaephili was developed with monoclonal antibodies. It was used to screen laboratory colonies of Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Cryptolestes ferrugineus, C. pusillus, and C. turcicus from the United States, Canada, and Australia. All of the colonies except C. turcicus had larvae that test...
