Evaluation of a milk-ELISA test for brucellosis through repeated sampling on an infected herd

  • 1. Ist. Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise ''G. Caporale'', Teramo (Italy)

Description

The aim was to evaluate the ability of a milk-ELISA test (M-EIA) to detect infected animals, in comparison with the Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT), the complement fixation test (CFT) and the milk ring test (MRT), and to estimate the probability of M-EIA and MRT detecting infected animals in three subsequent samplings and testings in relation to directives 64/432/EEC and 91/499/EEC regarding the application of MRT and M-EIA, respectively, and stating that in countries free from Brucella during the last four years serological tests may be substituted by three M-EIAs or three MRTs
