Abstract:
The coagglutination test was standardised for detection of fowl pox antigen in infected scabs and chorioallontoic membrane of chicken embryos. The Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I strain, containing large amounts of Protein A in their cell wall, coated with fowl pox antibodies was found specific and sensitive for detection of fowl pox antigen. The test is easy to perform and rapid as the positive results can be read within 15 seconds.
