Abstract
Sera of 42 suspect plague cases from Ovamboland, Namibia, were examined. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay proved more sensitive than passive hemagglutination for the detection of F1 antibody and increased positive serodiagnoses of plague by 7-42%.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
