Penyakit Hewan 25 (46A): 37-43. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the detection of antibodies specific for the Jembrana disease agent. Virus present in plasma of experimentally infected cattle and purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation was used as antigen. In experimentally infected Bali cattle, antibody was detected as early as 8 weeks after infection and the majority of cattle were antibody positive 3 months after infection. The antibody persisted for more than 59 weeks. A serological survey was conducted of cattle from various areas in Indonesia to determine the distribution and prevalence of cattle with antibodies to Jembrana disease virus. Antibodies were detected in serum samples from cattle from five provinces, Bali, Lam pung, East Java (Banyuwangi), West Sumatera and South Kalimantan. This finding correlated with the reported occurrence of clinical Jembrana disease. Key words: ELISA, antibo di, Jembrana disease, Bali cattle
