Abstract
A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is described for the detection of antibodies against epizootic haemorrhagic disease of deer viruses (EHDV). Test antisera were tested against a guinea-pig antiserum raised against EHDV core particles. The assay detected antibodies to all serotypes of EHDV, but unlike the agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test, gave no cross-reactions with antibodies against bluetongue, Palyam and Tilligery viruses. The C-ELISA would be ideal for use in epidemiological surveys since it is suitable for the examination of antisera from all susceptible species without the need for individual species-specific enzyme conjugates.Entities:
