title: The epidemiology of Salmonella dublin infection in a dairy herd. II. Serology.
abstract: A number of serological tests were evaluated in a study of Salmonella dublin infection in a dairy herd. None of the tests used detected either of the two carrier animals from which Salmonella dublin was isolated at slaughter 7 and 17 months after the herd infection. The complement fixation tests used proved to be a better guide to the presence of recent herd infection than the conventional ;O' or ;H' agglutination tests.
