Diagnosis of rotavirus, adenovirus, and herpesvirus infections by immune electron microscopy using a serum-in-agar diffusion method.

The sensitivity of immune electron microscopy (IEM) for the detection and identification of bovine rotavirus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBR), and canine adenovirus has been studied by using the serum-in-agar (SIA) method in which a specific antiserum has been incorporated in agar.
