Abstract
During recent years nosematosis has been a major problem in the breeding of blue fox in the Scandinavian countries, causing heavy losses among growing pups (Nordstoga 1972, Nordstoga et al. 1974). The lack of reliable methods for diagnosing the infection in live foxes has so far made epizootiologic studies of the disease very difficult. However, reports on the IFAT in rabbits with nosematosis (Cox et al. 1972, Chalupsky et al. 1971, 1973, 1974), encouraged the search for a method of detecting Nosema antibodies in fox sera.
