“…Serum samples with a ratio (S/P) < 0.50 were classified as negative and ratio (S/P) ≥ 0.50 as positive. The sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the test were 99% and 97.5%, respectively (VON BLUMRODER et al, 2004). A cow with a single or two positive ELISA results was considered as N. caninum infected.…”

“…The cut-off titre in IFAT differs between laboratories from 1:100 to over 1:640 for adult bovines and from 1:16 to 1:80 for foetal serology Uggla 1999, Álvarez-García et al 2003). A recommended cut-off value in IFAT to detect infection is a 1:200 dilution in adult cattle (von Blumröder et al 2004) and 1:16-1:25 in foetal fluids . Performance of this test requires training and experience and the result always depends on the subjectivity of the reader.…”
