A latex fixation test, also called a latex agglutination assay or test (LA assay or test), is an assay used clinically in the identification and typing of many important microorganisms. These tests use the patient's antigen - antibody immune response.
The purpose of this compendium is to standardize procedures concerning rabies prevention and control, in both domestic animals and wildlife. It provides recommendations which are meant to contribute to the national rabies control program. The latest revision of this compendium was published May 31, 2011.

Officially established in 1905, the first reference to veterinary medicine at Kansas State was in 1862. Starting in 1886, students enrolled in agriculture were offered animal health courses but not for any type of veterinary degree credit.
The titer value of that sample is the inverse of the dilution, i.e., 40. In some cases, the virus is initially so dilute that agglutinated wells are never observed. In that case, the titer of these samples is commonly assigned as 5, indicating the highest possible concentration, but the accuracy of that value is clearly low.
The vaccines included in the agency’s program are rabies, DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvo) and Bortadella. Each vaccine costs $10. Owners can also get their dogs microchipped ...
The two kittens had been with one that later turned out to have rabies. The kittens were being taken care of at Summit School at Nyack. Rabies in Rockland: 2 kittens test negative; 98 get vaccines ...
A 2010 review study by Puren et al. [2] categorizes viral load testing into three types: (1) nucleic acid amplification based tests (NATs or NAATs) commercially available in the United States with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, or on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA) with the CE marking; (2) "Home–brew" or in-house NATs; (3) non-nucleic acid-based test.
Rabies can be difficult to diagnose because, in the early stages, it is easily confused with other diseases or even with a simple aggressive temperament. [63] The reference method for diagnosing rabies is the fluorescent antibody test (FAT), an immunohistochemistry procedure, which is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). [64]
