Testing on the repeatability of the SSIA performance with both rabies vaccine-added antigen-positive and rabies-negative saliva samples diluted in negative saliva fluids as the reaction diluents parallel with the same both samples diluted in physiological solution showed the method reliable, as all 55 samples of rabies antigens (vaccine) diluted in both physiological solution and in normal dogs’ rabies-negative saliva fluids demonstrated the same negative reactions (100% sensitivity) and all 55 negative saliva samples diluted in the pair of the liquids showed the same negative reactions (100% specificity).
