This observational study was undertaken in order to evaluate the diagnostic specificity of the blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (bELISA) for serum antibodies to influenza A virus nucleoprotein during the equine influenza (EI) outbreak response in New South Wales, Australia, in 2007. Using data collected during the outbreak response, bELISA testing data were collated for assumed uninfected horses from areas where EI infection was never recorded. Diagnostic specificity of the bELISA used during the EI response was high, but varied significantly between some regions, although the reason(s) for this variation could not be determined.
本观察性研究旨在评估2007年澳大利亚新南威尔士州马流感（EI）疫情应对期间，阻断酶联免疫吸附测定（bELISA）检测甲型流感病毒核蛋白血清抗体的诊断特异性。利用疫情应对期间收集的数据，对来自从未记录过EI感染地区的假定未感染马匹的bELISA检测数据进行了整理。EI疫情应对期间使用的bELISA诊断特异性较高，但在某些地区之间存在显著差异，尽管无法确定这种差异的原因。
