Abstract
Biotechnological approaches used by the Health of Animals Laboratory Division of Agriculture Canada in the development of improved diagnostic tests for animal diseases include the use of monoclonal antibodies in solid-phase enzyme immunoassays for brucellosis and bluetongue and the preparation of nucleic acid probes to Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease Virus of deer and pseudorabies Virus.
