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, t...
