Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a serum neutralization (SN ) test were developed to measure serum antibodies against the adenovirus ca using hemorrhagic disease in free-ranging and captive experimentally-infect ed black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) in California (USA). There was a strong (rho = 0.874) and significant (P < 0.0001) correlation between ELISA and SN titers, although the SN assay was more sensitive than the ELISA.
