Fixed were the optimal conditions for the employment of the ELISA method. The latter was successfully applied to differentiate and study the foot-and-mouth disease viruses. It was found that ELISA was almost fifty times more sensitive as against the passive hemagglutination test, and almost one-hundred times more sensitive than the complement-fixation test. The results were found to correlate fully in the investigation of F. M. D. viruses of various origin with the use of the diagnostic methods referred to.
