Evaluation and comparison of performances of six commercial NSP ELISA assays for foot and mouth disease virus in Thailand.

ABSTRACT: ELISA kits that detect antibodies to the non-structural protein (NSP) of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), commonly referred to as NSP-ELISA, can distinguish between vaccinated and naturally infected animals. They can play an essential role in demonstrating 'proof-of-freedom' during the control of FMD. Although various NSP-ELISA kits are available in Thailand, information regarding their performance is lacking. To select the most appropriate NSP-ELISA kit for our specific purpose, we must compare their performance using carefully characterized sera. This will ensure that we maximize the benefits of our testing. In this study, six NSP-ELISA kits sold in Thailand-Biovet, ID Screen, VDPro, IDEXX, PrioCHECK, and KUcheck-F-were evaluated and compared. A total of 800 serum samples were ex
