【 摘 要 】

When foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) occurs and a “vaccination-to-live” policy is adopted in a country, the country must perform serological surveillance of a nonstructural protein (NSP) of FMD virus. The NCPanaftosa kit is the only kit for detecting antibodies to NSPs that is officially recognized as the reference regent by the World Organization for Animal Health; however, it is only used in South American countries. In this study, the specificity and sensitivity of the NCPanaftosa kit were compared with those of the PrioCHECK kit sold by an international company. Results in this study suggest that the PrioCHECK kit performs similarly to the NCPanaftosa kit in detecting antibodies to the NSP in the cattle population.
