Rat minute virus type 1 (RMV-1) was identified in laboratory rats. In this study, an ELISA using a recombinant capsid protein (rVP2) of RMV-1 was developed to diagnose RMV infections. The developed RMV-1 rVP2 ELISA exhibited a sensitivity of 97.5% and a specificity of 100%, and was more sensitive and specific in detecting RMV-1 infection than the ELISA using a recombinant minute virus of mice non-structural protein as antigen.
