title: A dipstick dot enzyme immunoassay for detection of rabies antigen.
abstract: A dipstick Dot enzyme immuno diagnosis test was standardized to detect rabies viral antigens from brain, of rabies-suspected dogs, cattle, horses, cats and goats. This test was compared with the direct fluorescent antibody test (FAT). When compared to the direct FAT, the dipstick dot ELISA test did not produce non-specific false-positive results and was therefore specific and reliable. The advantages of the dipstick Dot-ELISA are discussed.
