I'm looking for some general information on correlates between these two diagnostic tests, as well as, that which pertains specifically to canine parvovirus. I have HIA titres but how does that relate to long term immunity? Thanks in advance
hemagglutination inhibition has long be used for the determination of acquired immunity following infection by measles virus or rubella virus
For parvovirus, I do not know because now, ELISA kits detecting specifically either IgG or IgM antibodies are used. In principle, there must be a relative correspondence between tests
Thanks for your responses. I sent samples to a commercial laboratory and only received results back (HIA titres) so unfortunately I don't have the capacity to do serial dilutions. Hence the question to see if there is value/statistic to correlate the two diagnostic tests.
Perhaps these articles will help you to solve your very specific problem.
Remember that a hemagglutination inhibition test informs you about the existence of exposure to the virus but does not give you any indication of how recently or active is this infection
