Potential for rapid antibody detection to identify tuberculous cattle with non-reactive tuberculin skin test results

Potential for rapid antibody detection to identify tuberculous cattle with non-reactive tuberculin skin test results

Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) control programs generally rely on the tuberculin skin test (TST) for ante-mortem detection of Mycobacterium bovis-infected cattle. Results Present findings demonstrate that a rapid antibody test based on Dual-Path Platform (DPP®) technology, when applied...
