Rabies is an acute progressive viral encephalitis characterized by a disorder in the central nervous system, which affects all mammals, including the human species. The direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) is considered gold standard for the rabies post mortem diagnosis, both by WHO and OIE, once that presents high sensitivity and specificity. However, some difficulties may decrease the accu…
Once the rabies virus does not infect all CNS structures uniformly, the antigen detection of this agent by direct fluorescent antibody test (DFAT) can have variable results. However, there is disagreement in the literature about which fragments would be most suitable for this purpose in cattle. Therefore, brain samples (thalamus, cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum and brain stem) of naturall…
Direct fluorescent antibody test (DFAT) is considered a rapid screening and the gold standard test for the rabies diagnosis by WHO and OIE due to high sensitivity and specificity. As the rabies virus (RABV) does not infect all central nervous system (CNS) structures uniformly, the detection of this agent by DAFT may have variable results. There is disagreement about which fragments would …
