[Effectiveness of the surface fixation test in the diagnosis of brucellosis in hares]. 1985

R Handl

In the course of two years the reliability of surface fixation test was tested in the diagnostics of hare brucellosis on 961 hare blood samples taken during chases at chosen localities of the Olomouc district. Out of 33 serologically positive hares, 29 reacting ones were subjected to complex laboratory examination for brucellosis. In all cases brucellosis was confirmed patho-anatomically, by cultivation in 78.95% of bacteriologically examined hares and in the rest cases by bioassay on guinea-pigs. The results have confirmed that the surface fixation test represents a highly effective method for the reliable serological diagnostics of hare brucellosis.

D007793	Lagomorpha	An order of small mammals comprising two families, Ochotonidae (pikas) and Leporidae (RABBITS and HARES). Head and body length ranges from about 125 mm to 750 mm.
