Three ELISAs for the detection of antibodies against Neospora caninum in bulk milk were evaluated in 162 Dutch dairy herds. The first ELISA was the Dutch Animal Health Service (AHS) in-house ELISA, developed from the routine in-house serum ELISA. The other two ELISAs were commercial milk ELISAs from IDEXX and LSI. Blood samples of all lactating cows in 162 dairy herds were tested using the AHS in-house serum ELISA. Based on previous studies in the Netherlands a within-herd N. caninum seroprevalence of 15% was associated with increased risk for reproductive losses. This percentage was therefore used as positive seroprevalence cut-off value. Repeatability of the ELISAs was evaluated by testing on three different days. The AHS in-house ELISA lacked specificity, probably due to use of a different batch of antigen on the second and third test-day. Cut-off values were determined using misclassification costs term calculations. At cut-off values 0.6 for the IDEXX and 0.2 for the LSI, a herd sensitivity of 61% (95% CI: 49--73%) and 47% (95% CI: 35--60%) was estimated. Herd specificity at these cut-off values was 92% (95% CI: 87--98%) for the IDEXX and 94% (95% CI: 90--99%) for the LSI ELISA. The positive and negative predictive values were 84% (95% CI: 68--100%) and 86% (95% CI: 79--94%) for the IDEXX ELISA, and 85% (95% CI: 67--100%) and 82% (95% CI: 74--90%) for the LSI ELISA. The agreement between all possible combinations of test-days was expressed by kappa values. These were found to be slightly higher for the IDEXX than for the LSI ELISA. It is concluded that both commercial ELISAs performed satisfactorily to detect a within-herd seroprevalence of N. caninum in lactating cows of at least 15%.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
