Sumario: |
In Costa Rica the diagnosis of Johne's disease has been based
on clinical, histopathological and bacteriological evidence and
cutaneous testing; however, the prevalence of the disease at the
national level is unknown. Since serum ELISA is a well accepted
method of testing for antibody response to Mparatuberculosis
(Collins and others 1991, Sockett and others 1992), a bovine
serum bank collected in 1990 and a lipoarabinomannan antigen
ELISA (LAM-ELISA) which included a preabsorption step with
Mycobacteriumphlei (Sudgen and others 1987, 1989) was used. |
