A new serological test, diffusion in gel-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DIG-ELISA) was developed and compared with the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) for the serological diagnosis of leptospirosis. The results suggest that DIG-ELISA is a viable alternative to the MAT because of its simplicity, sensitivity, versatility and potential for standardisation. |
