A lateral-flow immunoassay (BrockTB Stat-Pak) for detecting tuberculosis in Eurasian badgers was 49% sensitive and 93% specific against culture for M. bovis (n = 1,464) at necropsy. However, the sensitivity was significantly higher (66 to 78%) in animals with more severe tuberculosis, indicating that the BrockTB Stat-Pak may be useful for the detection of badgers with the greatest risk of transmitting disease.
一种用于检测欧亚獾结核病的侧向流动免疫分析(BrockTB Stat-Pak),在尸检时针对牛分枝杆菌培养物的敏感性为49%,特异性为93%(n = 1464)。然而,在患有更严重结核病的动物中,敏感性显著更高(66%至78%),这表明BrockTB Stat-Pak可能有助于检测具有最大疾病传播风险的獾。
