Key result
An antigen-capture ELISA for detecting enterovirus in naturally infected turkey poults demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.963, a specificity of 0.879, and excellent agreement with immune electron microscopy.
Why the study?

ELISA shows high accuracy for turkey enterovirus; leaves open routine diagnostic adoption pending validation.
Hayhow et al. (1993) studied Enterovirus infection in turkey poults. Antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) vs. Immune electron microscopy (IEM) was evaluated on Sensitivity, specificity, and agreement (Kappa) for detection of enterovirus (Sensitivity 0.963, Specificity 0.879, Kappa 0.834 (naturally infected)). An antigen-capture ELISA for detecting enterovirus in naturally infected turkey poults demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.963, a specificity of 0.879, and excellent agreement with immune electron microscopy.
