Neutralizing antibodies to encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) were found in 69.13% of the serum samples obtained from pigs from representative regions of Italy. The antibodies are distributed fairly uniformly throughout the swine populations with all age groups being equally involved.

D009500	Neutralization Tests	The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).
