Relationship between Microscopic Agglutination Test and Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection of Seropositivity of Pathogenic Leptospira Infections in Cattle in Chile: A Pilot Study This study evaluates the link between Microscopic Agglutination Test seropositivity and PCR reactivity in cattle, assessing both tests' value in detecting pathogenic Leptospira.

This pilot study evaluated MAT #Seropositivity and #RealTimePCR reactivity in Chilean #cattle, finding 39.3% MAT and 29.5% PCR positivity, with 75% overlap, & demonstrating that combined use enhances #leptospirosis diagnostic accuracy and #epidemiological insights.
