| electrophoretic and antigenic characterisation of dermatophilus congolensis extracellular products. | dermatophilus congolensis is the causative agent of bovine dermatophilosis and lumpy wool in sheep. two field isolates of d. congolensis, one each from a cow in ghana and a sheep in scotland, were cultured for 24-72 h in a synthetic medium based on rpmi-1640. culture filtrates were examined by sds-page and considered to contain extracellular products released by growing hyphae and filaments. electrophoretic profiles of culture filtrates of the two isolates contained common bands and bands that w ... | 1997 | 9460195 |
| measurement of antibody to dermatophilus congolensis in sera from cattle in the west of scotland by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | serum antibody titres to dermatophilus congolensis demonstrated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in young steers and in adult cows from an ayrshire herd showed a bimodal distribution and provided evidence of subclinical infection. very high titres detected in sera from crossbred galloway steers were indicative of recent or existing infection which may have been masked by concurrent ringworm. the elisa is a sensitive and technically simple method which enables sera to be screened f ... | 1981 | 7340080 |
