摘要
Sandwich ELISAs (sELISAs) for the detection of Clostridium perfringens cells and a-toxin were developed and used to screen intestinal samples from normal broiler chickens and from clinical cases of necrotic enteritis. The assays clearly distinguished between the two sets of samples. The sELISA absorbance values from samples obtained from the majority of healthy birds were low and those from the majority of necrotic enteritis cases were high. Together, the assays provide a suitable test for the rapid screening for the diagnosis of necrotic enteritis in poultry. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
