Comparison of serological techniques for the diagnosis of equine infectious Anemia in an endemic area of Argentina

Equine Infectious Anemia is a transmissible viral disease present worldwide, caused by an RNA virus. Viral transmission is mainly mechanical through blood or its products most frequently by blood-sucking arthropods and iatrogenesis as well. OIE recommends Coggins Test as the diagnostic method of c...

description Equine Infectious Anemia is a transmissible viral disease present worldwide, caused by an RNA virus. Viral transmission is mainly mechanical through blood or its products most frequently by blood-sucking arthropods and iatrogenesis as well. OIE recommends Coggins Test as the diagnostic method of choice. Some ELISA tests detect antibodies earlier than the Coggins test, but may produce false-positive results. Currently, new techniques for EIA diagnosis are being developed, such as fluorescence polarization assay which is a simple method for measuring antigen-antibody interaction. The aim of this study was to assess cELISA and Fluorescence Polarization Assay performance for the serological diagnosis of EIA by comparing their results with those of the Coggins test.
