Funded Activity Summary

Objectives:
1. Select optimum EHNV detection protocols and establish these as national tests
2. Investigate the use of inactivated antigen in antigen capture ELISAs which would facilitate the distribution of the diagnostic tests
3. Use diagnostic tests to determine the minimum sampling sizes and types of samples required for disease-free certification of commercial stocks
4. Optimise immunological tests that detect EHNV and anti-EHNV antibodies, from field animals
5. Identify tissues/organs within host organisms where the virus replicates
6. Differentiate the major strains of Australian iridoviruses
