A SINGLE RADIAL HAEMOLYSIS TECHNIQUE FOR RAPID DIAGNOSIS OF GOAT POX DISEASES

摘要

For detection of goat pox antibodies, a single radial haemolysis (SRH) technique using soluble antigens (SAgs) of the virus was developed. In comparison with CIE, ELISA and AGP as diagnostic tests, SRH is a rapid, simple, and reproducible, time efficient and inexpensive test. The plates of test result could be kept for two months at 4°C. Results of SRH test showed only 20% difference with serum neutralization test, as the golden test.
