title: [Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD)--comparative diagnostic studies using the hemagglutination test and electron microscopy].
abstract: A total of 56 liver specimens from rabbits with symptoms of rabbit haemorrhagic disease were tested for virus by electron microscopy (EM) and haemagglutination (HA). Both methods simultaneously gave positive or negative results in 28 or 22 cases, respectively. Divergent results were obtained in only 6 samples. Five of them were positive by EM but negative by HA and in one specimen with a HA-titer of 1:32 virus could not be detected.
