By this study, developing a dipstick EIA for a rapid serodiagnosing the infection was aimed. Materials and Methods: The test was compared with Rapid Agglutination Test iELISA. Results: Sensitivity and specificity of the test were 82% and 95%, respectively when iELISA was evaluated as gold standard. Conclusion: Since the test has a good degree of specifity it is recommended as a screening test in the field. |
