  • Title: [Comparative studies of the detection of rotavirus in fecal samples of calves with diarrhea with the latex test "Slidex Rota-Kit 2" and electron microscopy].
    Author: Hamann HP, Herbst W, Krauss H.
    Journal: Berl Munch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1989 Oct 01; 102(10):346-7. PubMed ID: 2554880.
    Abstract:
    Of 68 fecal samples from calves with diarrhoea which were tested for rotavirus with the latex agglutination test "Slidex Rota-Kit2" and by electron microscopy 33 samples were positive and 33 were negative with both tests respectively. Divergent results (latex test positive/EM negative and vice versa) were observed in one specimen only, respectively. Cross reactions with other viruses diagnosed by electron microscopy were not observed with the latex agglutination test. The "Slidex Rota-Kit2" is another suitable test for the diagnostic laboratory as well as for the veterinary practitioner for the detection of rotavirus in fecal samples of calves.
