| Abstract | Monoclonal antibodies, directed against a 58-kDa Babesia bigemina merozoite antigen that reacted strongly with immune sera from experimentally and naturally infected cattle in Western blots, were used to develop a competitive-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). As based on the testing of 70 antibody-positive sera from experimentally infected cattle and 166 antibody-negative sera collected in non-endemic areas of Australia, the sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA were 95.7% and 97.0%, respectively. In sequential sera collected from six calves during the course of experimental B. bigemina infections the ELISA detected seroconversion at about 10 days post-inoculation. The specificity of the ELISA was not affected by the presence of antibodies to B. bovis, Anaplasma marginale or Theileria buffeli. In 42 sera from cattle experimentally infected with B. bovis but negative for B. bigemina the specificity of the ELISA was 95.2%. The use of a competitive-inhibition ELISA format detecting only antibody directed against a single epitope on the 58-kDa antigen appears to have overcome many of the specificity problems that have plagued serological tests for B. bigemina in the past. The test should be useful for epidemiology studies, particularly in areas where B. bovis and B. bigemina have overlapping distributions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
