- Abstract
The article presents a research that compares the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) in diagnosing West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEEV) of horses in Chantily, Virginia. Researchers examined 20 EEEV-positive horses using IHC and ISH. Moreover, they found that both are effective diagnosing EEEV in horses.
