Serum sample from 3985 apparently healthy sheep and goats were tested for CCHF by indirect immunofluorescence (IF) and Dot-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA). Infected inactivated Vero cell suspension was used as antigen in the study. CCHF viral antibody prevalence was found among sheep (2%), while not among goats. The
and 13% in age >1 year and < percentages of reactive sera were 87% lyear subsequently. Neither IgM antibody in sera nor CCHF viral antigen
in tick homogenates could be demonstrated. There was a correlation between Dot-ELISA and IF not only with the respect to the total numbers of positives, and negatives, but also, for each individual serum. Moreover, Dot-ELISA was more sensitive than IF, but needed more time for application. So IF technique was faster especially when rapid result delivery had been highly recommended.
