Abstract
The current invention provides a multiplex method for screening bovine samples for antibodies against several important pathogens. These pathogens include Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1), Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MAP), Leptospira species, Neospora caninum and Fasciola hepatica. This multiplex screening is enabled by substrates with immobilized pathogen antigens and offer multiple advantages for the routine testing of farm animals.
