Akabane virus (AKAV)
ID Screen® Akabane Competition
ELISA 
- High correlation with the virus neutralisation test (VNT)
- Sensitive and specific, with clear separation of positive and negative results
- No cross-reactions with SBV (see ref. 2 in the list of references)
- Fast and convenient:
- Ready-to-use components, with results in just over 2 hours
- Easily check that all samples have been correctly deposited thanks to the dilution buffer which changes colour upon addition of the sera
- Cost-effective for the analysis of large numbers of samples, notably in comparison with VNT
