Interpretation of microscopic agglutination test for leptospirosis diagnosis and seroprevalence [PDF]
Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2014 Determination of antibody titer by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) has been used as a tool for leptospirosis diagnosis. Four fold or greater rise in antibody titers between acute and convalescent sera suggests recent Leptospira infection.

Microscopic agglutination test on captive rattlesnakes : Data on serovars and titers [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2016 The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is considered the “golden standard” leptospirosis serodiagnostic test, but there is little information about it as it pertains to snakes.

Diagnosis of Leptospirosis: Comparison between Microscopic Agglutination Test, IgM-ELISA and IgM Rapid Immunochromatography Test. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 BackgroundLeptospirosis is diagnosed on clinical grounds, and confirmed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). IgM-ELISA (Serion-Virion) and immunochromatography test (Leptocheck-WB) are two immunodiagnostic assays for leptospirosis. Their sensitivity,

Comparison of anti-Leptospira antibodies by microscopic agglutination test in ruminants and equines of Urmia, Iran. [PDF]
Vet Res Forum, 2023 Leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease, is characterized by fever, jaundice, abortion and hemo-globinuria. It is widespread and the determination of the dominant serotype in the animal species of each region accelerates the control and prevention program. 862 blood samples were prepared from ruminants and equines.

Deciphering Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) Serogroup Cross-Reactivity in Leptospirosis: The Influence of Age and Antibody Titers [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and Infectious DiseaseLeptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira spp., with over 250 serovars classified into 24 serogroups. Control measures depend on understanding serovar-specific epidemiology, yet the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is only serogroup ...

THE PERSISTENCE OF LEPTOSPIRAL AGGLUTININS TITERS IN HUMAN SERA DIAGNOSED BY THE MICROSCOPIC AGGLUTINATION TEST [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1998 The persistence of agglutinins detected by MAT has created some problems to the interpretation of the results. The aim of this study was to examine the data of serology from 70 patients with serologically confirmed diagnosis of leptospirosis by during 3 ...
