- •
Comparison of indirect fluorescent antibody testing (IFAT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnostic support of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM)
- •
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from healthy (10) and neurologic horses (27) were tested for antibodies to Sarcocystis neurona and Neospora hughesi
- •
Overall agreement between the IFAT on CSF and ELISA serum/CSF titer ratio was 91%
- •
The IFAT on CSF and ELISA serum/CSF ratio are indicated to help support a laboratory diagnosis of EPM.
