“…Gum scrapings from infected animals have also been used for the detection of RV antigen (Scott & Brown, 1961;Kataria, Shrivastava & Majundar, 1977;Thanappa Pillai & Abdul Khader, 1982). Recently, Forman, Rowe & Taylor (1983) also described the use of ante-mortem secretions for the rapid detection of RV antigen.…”

SUMMARYThe detectability of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) viral antigen in both ante-mortem secretions and necropsy samples from experimentally infected goats was investigated by both the agar gel precipitation test (AGPT) and counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE). Viral antigen was detected from 42'6 % of the samples tested by the AGPT and 80-3 % by CIE. The detection of viral antigen in a high proportion of the ocular and nasal secretions as well as the faeces and buccal scrapings, particularly from those collected within seven days of the onset of fever, by both techniques, would seem to obviate the need for lymph node biopsies or post-mortem samples in order to make a diagnosis of PPRV infection.

Counter-immunoelectrophoresis was compared with immunodiffusion for its ability to detect rinderpest virus antigens. Counter-immunoelectrophoresis detected antigens in lymph node biopsies from all of 9 infected cattle whereas immunodiffusion detected them in 8 only. Counter-immunoelectrophoresis was between 4 and 16 times more sensitive than immunodiffusion for detecting rinderpest virus antigens in the tissues of diseased animals and could detect positive reactions within 40 min. Counter-immunoelectrophoresis could offer an opportunity for rapid laboratory confirmation of rinderpest.
