Abstract
The Staphylococcus protein A coagglutination test (Sp A COAT) was deve loped for the diagnosis of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD). Liver, s pleen, lungs and kidneys from 176 rabbits dead from viral haemorrhagic disease as well as the same organs from 64 healthy animals were exami ned by Sp A COAT and haemaglutination test (HAT). The Sp A COAT was sp ecific and considerably more simple to carry out than the HAT, which m ade it very useful for rapid identification of RHD.
