Abstract
The use of an indirect ELISA for the serological screening of bovine b rucellosis provides very promising results. The ELISA specificity, whe n the Complement Fixation test is used as the reference method, is at least equal or better than the Rose Bengal test. In infected herds, th e ELISA ability to detect seroconverted cattle is greatly higher than the traditional methods.
