ABSTRACT
703 blood samples from red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were investigated to determine the prevalence of antibody against an orthopox virus (vaccinia virus strain Elstree). A blocking-ELISA based on a neutralizing monoclonal antibody was used. In this assay 46 sera (6.5%) were positive with titers of 12 to 116. ELISA-results were confirmed by the plaque reduction test with 44 of the 46 sera reacting positively. The specificity of antibodies in 21 selected sera was also demonstrated by Western blot analysis.
