Product OverviewThe SVANOVIR Brucella-Ab C-ELISA is a multispecies, competitive ELISA designed for the detection of specific antibodies to Brucella in bovine, ovine, caprine, and porcine samples. It delivers accurate results essential for successful monitoring programs of B. abortus, B. melitensis, and B. suis, making it a valuable tool for assessing freedom from disease, monitoring progress in eradication programs, and facilitating livestock movement. This assay is suitable for both low and high prevalence situations and is ideal for confirming results from herd screening tests.
Features and Benefits- High sensitivity from 99.5% to 100% and high specificity from 99.5% to 100%*
- Adapted for serum, plasma, and milk samples (individual and pooled milk samples)
- Excellent complementary test for evaluating positive results from herd screening tests
- Enables differentiation of vaccination from infection in combination with certain vaccines
- Successfully used in eradication programs of Brucellosis worldwide
- Prescribed test method for international trade by the OIE

ReferencesThe accuracy of the SVANOVIR Brucella-Ab C-ELISA has been demonstrated in several studies on a large number of domesticated and wild species. Its excellent specificity minimizes false positive test results. Notably, it does not show false positive results in vaccinated (S19) cattle populations six months after vaccination, when standard testing methods typically do. Preliminary evaluation studies also indicate its utility for detecting brucellosis in wild boars, bison, and reindeer.
