Abstract
The direct fluorescent antibody test was assessed for detection of Brucella abortus in bovine abortion material. Br. abortus organisms could be readily detected as characteristic intra-cellular clumps, in smears stained with fluorescent antibody. Counterstaining with Evans Blue was necessary to suppress tissue auto-fluorescence. The method was specific and enabled brucella infection to be differentiated, inter alia, from Q-fever infection.Entities:
