    Author: Marennikova SS, Shelukhina EM, Matsevich GR, Ezek Z, Khodakevich LN, Zhukova OA, Yanova NN, Chekunova EV.
    Journal: Acta Virol; 1989 May; 33(3):246-53. PubMed ID: 2570511.
    Abstract:
    The presented studies were performed at the WHO Collaboration Center for Smallpox in Moscow in the framework of the WHO monkey pox project. The authors recommend improved methods for rapid detection of orthopoxvirus antigen, namely passive haemagglutination (PHA) using dried stable red blood cells and ELISA in order to provide more rapid and efficient laboratory diagnosis under field conditions. Independent serologic diagnosis of monkey pox by ELISA-adsorption (ELISA-A) was proved of value for epidemiological studies and for detection of inapparent infections. The application range of the latter technique and its limitations were also determined.
