serological studies of australian and papua new guinean cattle and australian sheep for the presence of antibodies against bluetongue group viruses.	following isolation of a virus (csiro19) from insects in australia and its identification as bluetongue virus serotype 20 (btv20), a nationwide survey of antibodies in cattle and sheep sera was undertaken. initial studies using the serum neutralization (sn) test showed that the distribution of btv20 antibodies in cattle was confined to the northern part of australia. group-reactive antibody tests (agar gel diffusion precipitin, agdp, and complement-fixation, cf) showed group-reactive cattle sera ...	1983	6306901
laboratory and field studies of an antigen capture elisa for bluetongue virus.	an improved bluetongue antigen capture elisa (btace) technique was evaluated for its ability to detect the full range of 24 bluetongue (blu) serotypes. the btace detected all 24 serotypes in cell culture fluids, including eight serotypes where the representative strains originated from both australia and also from the south african reference collection. the amount of infectious virus required to obtain a positive btace result varied between 100-1000 tcid50. this was approximately 10-fold more se ...	2000	10716347
