Serosurvey of Selected Zoonotic Pathogens in Polar Bears ( Ursus maritimus Phipps, 1774) in the Russian Arctic
Antibodies to several pathogens were detected in the serum samples of nine polar bears ( Ursus maritimus , Phipps, 1774) from areas of the Russian Arctic. Plasma was studied for antibodies to sixteen infectious and parasitic diseases using indirect Protein-A ELISA. It is known that when using ELISA,...
