A commercial enzyme immune assay in serodiagnosis of bovine herpesvirus 1 infections

The performance of a commercial immune assay in the identification antibody of natural infection or vaccination against bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) in 1000 samples of bovine serum was evaluated. The comparative analysis from the result of the evaluated system and standard serum neutralization technique showed a rate of agreement of 97.05% (K=0.94) between the two serologic diagnotic methods.
