[Rapid diagnosis of botulism in cattle using heated microcomplement fixation reactions].
Clostridium botulinum toxin, type C, could be demonstrated by means of temperature induced microcomplement fixation in blood serum and in aspirated rumen fluid of cattle suffering from botulism. The results were already available after seven hours. Botulinum toxin likewise could be identified from hair of a suspicious carcass. The investigations confirm the high sensitivity of this method.
