We have a case from last year when that illustrates it well. The FAD test was negative, though the histology findings were consistent with the EHD disease, so when the spleen was tested using the PCR test, it was in fact positive. I would post the reports here, but that feature has been removed. So my question is what test was used on this first initial report, and if the FAD, is the PCR test still awaiting results."

Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife "We'll have to get back to you on this one. So far no positive results, we usually send in spleen samples."

Just to update s_wilk thoughtful quotes, don't want you all kept in the dark. So guess we will wait for the answer, hmmmm.
