Abstract
A novel test procedure can screen seroconversions in sentinel chickens with the commercially available VecTest designed to detect viral antigens, such as West Nile virus. The test requires minimum laboratory equipment and skills, and provides qualitative results in about 45 min, which are immediately available to vector control agencies for making decisions to manage mosquito populations in order to interrupt arbovirus transmission.
