Article Synopsis
- New Zealand is free from equine influenza and has not had any cases in its horse population, prompting a study to find the best diagnostic test for the disease.
- Four enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were evaluated using serum samples from both healthy New Zealand horses and infected Australian horses, with varying diagnostic specificities and sensitivities.
- The study showed that while all ELISAs performed well, ELISA-1 had the highest area under the curve in terms of accuracy, and ELISA-4 was the most sensitive for detecting infection shortly after it occurred.
