[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1282960, member: 12607"] cELISA test that we now have is very sensitive and specific - it will detect infected animals before you can identify infected RBCs in a blood smear - and will detect those persistently infected carrier animals that were infected as calves or became infected later and survived. Vaccinated animals will also be seropositive on cELISA; vaccination will not prevent cattle from becoming infected, but will prevent clinical disease. 'Carrier' animals are persistently infected [u]for the rest of their lives[/u] unless you undertake a high-dosage CTC feeding regimen to clear the infection; while these persistently infected cattle will likely never develop clinical disease, they can serve as a continuing source of infection for other cattle in the herd.
