title: An indirect haemagglutination test for the detection of antibody to Nairobi sheep disease virus.
abstract: An indirect haemagglutination test was developed for the detection of antibody to Nairobi sheep disease virus and shown to be specific and highly sensitive. The optimum conditions necessary to achieve maximal sensitivity were determined. Sheep and goat sera were tested in parallel with an indirect fluorescent antibody test and close correlation of results was demonstrated.
