In the case of abortion, the whole fetus should be sent for testing. At a specialist laboratory, immunostaining of fetal tissues will take place to diagnose the virus. Nested PCR for envelope glycoproteins in '''nasal swab''' can be used and this is more sensitive than virus isolation. Paired serum samples should also be taken on day one and then around two weeks later to show increase in CFT titre. <br>
