This book details the scientific breakthroughs that led to one of the most important and difficult diagnostic methods for a common and deadly disease that afflicted both humans and livestock for centuries. At the turn of the 20th century, glanders devastated livestock populations around the world, but the development of a diagnostic test using complement fixation revolutionized the ability of veterinarians to identify and control the disease. Through painstaking research and experimentation, the author presents a thorough exposition of this new method, including practical tests in a recent outbreak of glanders, solidifying complement fixation as the most reliable diagnostic tool for glanders, a feat that had eluded the scientific community for decades.
