Serological diagnosis is very important for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus, an important pathogen related to reproductive failure. Methods normally used for the detection of antibodies are serum neutralization (SN) and ELISA. The objective of this work was to standardize an indirect ELISA with SN. With a diagnostic sensitivity of 98.31% and a diagnostic specificity of 100%, this ELISA-BVDV shows good sensitivity, specificity and repeatability. It is easy to transfer, economical, and easy to perform.
