Abstract
An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to screen goat sera at a single dilution for antibody to mycoplasma F38. Antibody was detected in sera of six convalescent goats following experimental infection. Antibody was also detected in 34 sera three to four weeks after vaccination. No antibody was detected in 164 sera from goats without a history of vaccination or infection with contagious caprine pleuropneumonia. The ELISA was more sensitive than the complement fixation test in detecting antibody in vaccinated goats.Entities:
