Abstract
A total of 51 brain Samples (cerebellum and brain stem) were collected from rabies
suspected animals that were received for rabies diagnosis at Department of veterinary
pathology, Veterinary college, Bangalore. Brain samples collected by foramen magnum
approach using simple instruments viz., Artificial Insemination (AI) sheath and also
collected from conventional skull open method. The LFA, DFA and dRIT tests were
conducted and comparative evaluation of all three tests was done on samples collected
from both the methods. Out of 51 samples tested, 41 were positive and 10 were negative
for rabies by LFA, DFA and dRIT tests. There was 100 per cent correlation between the
LFA, DFA and
