title: Coagglutination test: a simple and rapid diagnostic technique for goat pox.
abstract: The coagglutination test was standardised using Staphylococcus aureus strain Cowan I (containing Protein A) coated with anti-goat pox serum for the detection of goat pox antigen of infected goat skin or kid kidney cell culture antigen. Agglutination was observed within 10 seconds in virus dilutions up to 10(-6). As the test is easy to perform it can be used for rapid diagnosis of goat pox.
