Abstract:Background: The Hemagglutination assay (HA) is widely used in plague diagnosis, however, it has a subjective interpretation and demands high amounts of antigen and other immunobiological supplies.

To determine the cut-off and performance rates, HA results from 288 samples (81 rabbit… Show more
