Abstract

SUMMARY An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the rapid serological confirmation of swine vesicular disease (SVD) and for the surveillance of antibody against this disease in pigs. A total of 3524 sera was tested by ELISA and the results compared with those previously recorded in double immuno-diffusion (DID) and/or serum neutralization (SN) tests where a good agreement between these tests was obtained. Although the ELISA was less sensitive than the SN test, it was more sensitive than DID. In no case did the ELISA fail to detect SVD antibody in sera from batches shown to be positive by DID and/or SN.
