Abstract
A dipstick enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) has been standardized for the de tection of rinderpest antibodies. One hundred and thirty bovine serum samples were analysed by the dipstick ELISA method and the results com pared with the conventional plate ELISA method. The sensitivity was fo und to be similar in both methods. The dipstick ELISA does not require expensive micro-plates and an ELISA reader, and is recommended for us e in field laboratories where the qualitative detection of rinderpest antibodies is required.
