Comparison of enzyme immunodiagnosis with immunofluorescence for rapid diagnosis of rabies in dogs.
A comparison between Direct Immunofluorescence Test (FAT) and Rapid Rabies Enzyme Immunodiagnosis test (RREID) was made to detect rabies viral antigens from the brain and salivary gland tissues of experimentally infected and in rabies suspected dogs. Both the tests presented an efficiency level of 100 per cent and both are equally sensitive.
