%X serum samples of 562 goats were tested for caprine arthritis-encephalitis using agar gel immunodiffusion test (agid) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). seventy-nine samples (14.1%) were reactive by both testes but 141 (25.1%) were reactive only by elisa. elisa, when compared to agid, presented 100% sensitivity and 70.8% specificity.
