Abstract
The conventional microagglutination test (MAT) and the recently evolved ELISA test were compared 'to detect leptospiral antibodies to Pomona from 100 field sera samples of which 12 were positive. ELISA was much more sensitive, as it showed positive in the 21 MAT negative sera and hence may be used as a field test.
