Abstract
To validate the use of serology in substantiating freedom from infection after foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks have been controlled
by measures that include vaccination, 3551 sera were tested with six assays that detect antibodies to the non-structural proteins of FMD virus.
The sera came from na¨ıve, vaccinated, infected and vaccinated-and-infected animals; two-thirds from cattle, the remainder from sheep and
pigs. The assays were covariant for sensitivity, but not necessarily for specificity. A commercial kit from Cedi-diagnostics and an in-house
assay from IZS-Brescia were comparable to the NCPanaftosa-screening index method described in the Diagnostic Manual of the World
Animal Health Organisation. Using these three tests the specificity and sensitivity for the detection of carriers in vaccinated cattle approaches
or exceeds 99% and 90%, respectively.

Can you replicate negatives
becoming positive?
A fresh aliquot of each of the samples were used;
• aliquot left at room temperature 72 hours.
• Aliquot left in the fridge for 72 hours .

The objectives of the study;• Data supports the idea that these 2 commercial assays have equivalent
performance for the detection of FMDV NSP-specific Abs.
• Provide concordance and validation data to accredit alternative assays for routine diagnostic purposes.
• Hopefully mitigating any potential supply difficulties that may arise during an outbreak.
Study also highlighted: Storage & heat inactivation of serum samples;
• Heat inactivation plays an important role in reducing the non-specific binding resulting in spurious results. It is not an isolated incidence, it has been seen by other laboratories.
• Outbreak situation samples will be fresh and are tested quickly.
• Post vaccination studies however, longer periods of storage before shipment and testing.
