title: [Rapid serological diagnosis of parvovirus infection in dogs. Fluorescent serological demonstration of virus-specific IgM antibodies].
abstract: Rapid diagnostic assay described comprises examination of a single serum sample of the ill dog using indirect immunofluorescence test. The procedure lasts about two hours. The finding of virus-specific humoral IgM antibodies serves as evidence for an acute parvovirus infection. 84 dogs presented as patients with enteritis were examined with this method, 48 of them were seropositive for IgM antibodies.
