Diagnosis of brucellosis by serology.
TL;DR: Serological diagnosis of brucellosis began more than 100 years ago with a simple agglutination test, but this type of test was susceptible to false positive reactions resulting from, for instance, exposure to cross reacting microorganisms, giving rise to the development of primary binding assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of Brucellosis in Livestock and Wildlife
TL;DR: The diagnosis of brucellosis in livestock and wildlife is complex and serological results need to be carefully analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of detection of Brucella spp. by polymerase chain reaction.
W L Yu,Klaus Nielsen +1 more
TL;DR: A review of most of the currently used polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for identification of Brucella bacteria in biological samples, focused in particular on methods using single-pair primers, multiplex primer, real-time PCRs, PCRs for marine BrucellA, and PCR for molecular biotyping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of Brucellosis
TL;DR: Brucellosis serology have advanced considerably in the last decades with very sensitive and specific new tests available, from the rapid recognition of genus to differential identification of species and strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
A homogeneous fluorescence polarization assay for detection of antibody to Brucella abortus
TL;DR: A homogeneous fluorescence polarization (FP) assay (FPA) was developed for detection of antibody in bovine sera to Brucella abortus and it became evident that the initial cut-off value was set too high and, using ROC analysis, a cut- off of 90 mP increased the sensitivity to 99.02% while the specificity decreased.
