An evaluation of three commercial kits for use as screening methods for the detection of leptospiral antibodies in the UK

摘要

Aims—To compare three commercial screening tests—the PanBio leptospiral IgM enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the Biolisa leptospiral IgM ELISA, and the indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA)—with the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and two "in house" ELISAs—urease and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)—for the detection of leptospiral antibodies in a local UK and Eire population.
