Agreement between the cell culture titrations of canine minute virus determined by two susceptibility-testing methods

Abstract

The correct diagnosis of canine minute virus is critical in dog breeding. In this study, the Bland Altman test was used to compare the performance of two susceptibility-testing methods, namely polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). The agreement between IFA and PCR in monocytes revealed a mean difference of -1752.16 with 95% confidence and an interval ranging from -3229.80 to -274.53 (SD=2325.62). The agreement between IFA and PCR in Walter Reed canine cells (WRCC) revealed a mean difference of -2396.55 with 95% confidence and an interval ranging from -3774.63 to -1018.48 (SD=2168.93). The Bland Altman test confirmed the overall accuracy of PCR vs IFA and the plot showed that all points were not randomly arranged in the range of average ±1.96×SD of the differences.
