SKIN TEST FOR DIAGNOSING SUBCLINICAL CASEOUS LYMPHADENITIS IN GOATS AND SHEEP

摘要

The present invention describes a skin test characterised in that it comprises protein antigens secreted by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis for diagnosing subclinical caseous lymphadenitis in goats and sheep. This test allows goats and sheep to be tested positive on the farm for caseous lymphadenitis (CL), assisting in combating the infection, since the test can be performed by field veterinarians.
