Use of ELISA for the diagnostics of ovine sarcocystosis.
A modification of micro ELISA was used for the detection of specific antibodies in the diagnostics of ovine sarcocystosis. The results of ELISA compared to those of indirect fluorescence reaction (IFR) were identical in 94.7%. The titres of specific antibodies were higher in 70.8% of samples if ELISA was used. The coincidence of the two tests is statistically highly significant (P less than 0.005). ELISA can be recommended for both experimental and routine examinations for ovine sarcocystosis.
