| development of an indirect elisa for the detection of serum antibodies to aspergillus fumigatus in captive penguins. | aspergillosis is a significant cause of mortality in captive penguins (sphenisciformes). an indirect elisa for the detection of aspergillus fumigatus-specific immunoglobulin in penguins was developed and standardised by making use of a family-specific antiserum (anti-aptenodyptes patagonica patagonicus). the results were calculated quantitatively as elisa units, derived by polynomial regression analysis, and semi-quantitatively as end titres. serum samples from 61 captive penguins were tested wi ... | 2002 | 12017526 |
