The Salmonella Abortusovis test is an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) intended for the detection of IgG anti-Salmonella Abortusovis in sheep serum samples.
The test is designed to be used for the diagnosis of abortive salmonellosis infection and evaluation of antibody response to vaccination, as an ancillary test in conjunction with other methods for serological prevalence survey, or for the diagnosis and management of S. Abortusovis infection within herds, for the following purposes:

• Demonstrate freedom from infection in a defined population (country/zone/compartment/herd) – Historical freedom
• To confirm, but not negate, diagnosis of suspect or clinical cases, including confirmation of positive screening tests in individual animals and in herds with infection prevalence ranging from very low to high, based on detection of antibodies in sheep serum
• To determine immune status in individual animals or populations (post vaccination)
