The results showed aconcordance of 96.6% between the ELISA and IFAT, 90.5% between the ELISA and RCT, and91.8% between the IFAT and RCT. Although the prevalence rates determined by ELISA (97.2%)and IFAT (96.8%) were higher than that indicated by the RCT (92.9%), performances of the threeserological tests were very similar and characterized the region studied as enzootically stable to B.boi.,is. © 1998 Elsevier Science B-v-  aBrazil  acattle  aparasitology  aAglutinação  aBabesia Bovis  aElisa  aParasitologia  aBahia  aBrasil  aIFAT  aImmunofluorescence  aImmunofluorescencia  aRapid conglutination test  aRCT1 aMADRUGA, C.
