Evaluation of a P48 ELISA for Mycoplasmopsis (Mycoplasma) bovis in North American bison (Bison bison): inferior performance compared to a commercially available ELISA
We identify significant challenges in serological diagnostics of M. bovis in bison with implications for interpretation of previous serological studies. Future research should focus on multiple immunogenic targets to enhance sensitivity and specificity for M. bovis serological surveillance.
