To detect antibodies against YOKV, we developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using biotinylated anti-bat IgG rabbit sera. To detect antibodies against YOKV, we developed an ELISA using biotinylated anti-bat IgG rabbit sera. Using the conventional ELISA, a serological survey was performed on bat serum samples collected from the Philippines and Malaysia. To obtain sera positive for anti-YOKV antibodies, two bats were immunized with inactivated and purified virus. Furthermore, the serum samples collected from bats which were obtained from Japan Zoos were also screened by ELISA using the JEV antigen. We developed an ELISA system using biotin-labeled anti-bat-IgG rabbit serum to detect antibodies against YOKV in bat sera and conducted serological surveys using this system.	./cache/cord-305516-s1lvhknm.txt	./txt/cord-305516-s1lvhknm.txt
