Abstract
A hot saline antigen from Brucella ovis REO 198 was extracted to be us ed in an indirect ELISA test (ELISA-I) for the diagnosis of sheep bruc ellosis. This antigen was comparatively used in the ELISA-I and Gel Im mune Diffusion test (IDG) in 1181 serum samples belonging to sheep of different epidemiological statuses. The extracted antigen was highly h ydrophilic performing the tests easily. The better relative sensitivit y showed by the ELISA-I over IDG is discussed.
