Abstract
SUMMARY Formalin-fixed rhesus macaque erythrocytes were tested for their suitability in a hemagglutination (ha) test for detection of canine parvovirus in feces. Formalin fixation of the rbc had no adverse influence on ha sensitivity or specificity, simplified the test procedure, and provided a practical means for standardization of ha results.
