The indirect hemagglutination test with erythrocytes sensitized with antibody to LCM and Tacaribe viruses, most typical members of of arenaviruses, has been developed. This test is a sensitive method for detection of arenaviruses in infected materials in vitro. The indirect hemagglutination test and the indirect hemagglutination-inhibition test revealed cross-interaction between LCM and Tacaribe viruses which opens new approaches for group and species identification of arenaviruses.
