An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of IgG serum antibodies to swine Sendai virus. To evaluate the preliminary potential of ELISA, sera from 10 healthy pigs and 34 sera from finishing pigs suffering from respiratory signs were tested. The results were compared with those obtained from the same sera by hemagglutination inhibition assay.

This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of Babesia ovis around Afyon between June and September 2000. During this period, blood samples were collected to obtain serum samples from total of 204 Akkaraman sheep in different age groups in 9 different localities. During sampling, peripheral blood smears were prepared from the punctured ear of each animal. Ticks were also collected from the animals sampled. The sera were tested for the presence of antibodies to B. ovis by ELISA. The blood smears were stained with 5% Giemsa stain solution and were examined microscopically. Antibodies against B. ovis were detected …
