A refinement of the immunofluorescent complement fixation test for trypanosoma infections.
The sandwich immunofluorescent complement fixation test proved to be as sensitive as the indirect fluorescent antibody test when anti-C1q was used to detect the binding of complement to antigen-antibody complex of four species of trypanosomes in experimentally infected domestic animals.
