Six different serological tests were used to examine Kenyan cattle sera for antibodies to the herpesvirus of malignant catarrhal fever. Significantly higher levels of indirect immunofluorescent antibody to early and late virus antigens and of complement fixing antibody were found in the sera of 13 naturally infected cattle than in 482 sera collected from four different groups of normal cattle. Virus neutralising and immunoprecipitating antibodies were also found in some infected cattle sera but not in normal cattle sera. Many non-specific reactions occurred using counterimmunoelectrophoresis. These preliminary results indicate that the serological diagnosis of wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever may be possible.  相似文献

Seroepidemiological surveys were performed on neutralizing antibody to bovine herpesvirus 2 (BoHV-2) among cattle in Japan. A total of 1,819 sera were collected from cattle in 27 prefectures from 1997 to 1998. Antibodies were detected in only 18 sera collected from 4 prefectures. However, the most prevalent areas of the infection were found in two islands located in the subtropical zone. Additional 353 sera were collected in three including these islands in 1999-2001.The antibody-positive rates in the farms in these islands ranged from 10% to 81.1%. It was confirmed that BoHV-2 was prevalent in these areas. However, the infection seemed to be latent, because no diseases have been noticed. This is the first report showing the presence of BoHV-2 infection among cattle in Japan.  相似文献

A total of 3204 cattle sera, collected between 1966 and 1974, from all seven provinces and 34 of the 42 districts of Kenya were screened in a neutralisation test for antibody to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV). Antibody to IBRV was found in some sera from all the districts, with cattle over two years old showing the highest incidence. A small number of goat sera also showed some antibody. From the results obtained it is concluded that IBRV infection is widespread in Kenyan cattle.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of antibodies to foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in sera of cattle in Poland. The examinations were performed using the virus neutralization (VN) test and ELISA methods: liquid-phase blocking ELISA (LPBE) and 3ABC-ELISA. During 1993-2001, about 681,000 samples of sera collected from animals held on the territory of Poland were tested. Of about 600,000 sera taken from animals exported to the European Union, 963 samples (0.16%) were found to be positive to FMDV types A, O and/or C. During 1996-2001 out of 85,000 sera tested as part of the national serological surveillance program for FMD, the FMDV antibodies were recorded in 51 (0.06%) samples. Persistence of FMD antibodies was observed in sera of cattle from the region around Zduńska Wola, which had been vaccinated annually during 1985-1985 with trivalent FMD vaccine. The results of the serological studies of 550 animals from this region indicates the presence of FMDV antibodies in sera of 240 (44%) cattle. A half-life of maternal antibodies in sera of calves born to seropositive dams was estimated; the highest level of FMDV antibodies was detected in sera taken from new-born calves aged 5-10 days. The level of FMDV antibodies in beestings of dams was highest during the first 10 hours after parturition; after 24 hours a significant decrease (3-5 times) was found and in two weeks post parturition FMDV antibodies were undetectable in the milk. It was established that all LPBE/VN positive sera of cattle exported from Poland, from the vaccination zone around Zduńska Wola as well as those tested as part of the national serological surveillance program for FMD, were taken exclusively from vaccinated animals or calves born to vaccinated dams.  相似文献

Respiratory viruses may infect both small and large ruminant species, and can be transmitted among those of species. Present study reports presence and serological distribution of bovine respiratory viral infections in sheep and goats in Marmara region of Turkey. Total of 388 sera, 228 from sheep and 160 from goats collected from 4 provinces were analysed. Neutralising antibodies specific to BVDV, BHV-1, BRSV, PI-3, BAV-1 and BAV-3 were investigated. Among 388 serum samples 32.1% were positive for BVDV, 23.0% for BHV-1, 72.9% for BRSV, 13.2% for PI-3, 86.0% for BAV-1 and 93.0% for BAV-3. There were significant differences observed between seroprevalence rates detected in neighbouring provinces. Prevalence of BVDV specific antibodies was extremely higher (p = 0.0009) in sheep, however, BHV-1 (p = 0.0001) and PI-3 (p = 0.0038) were more prevalent in goats. BRSV antibody prevalence was closely related to data obtained from cattle. This study demonstrates that, like in cattle herds, BRSV and adenoviruses are the possible common reason of respiratory diseases in small ruminants in the region.  相似文献

Epidemiology of bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis in Zambia   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  
The serological prevalence of bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis in the traditional farming sector of six provinces of Zambia was determined using the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) for babesiosis and the card agglutination test (CAT) for anaplasmosis. Antibodies to Babesia bigemina occurred throughout the country whereas the prevalence of B. bovis followed the distribution of its tick vector Boophilus microplus which is limited to the north-eastern part of the country. Low numbers of B. bovis serologically positive cattle were demonstrated in central and southern Province. Anaplasma spp. occurred throughout Zambia but the overall percentages of positive sera were low ranging between 14.7% and 38.6% using the CAT. Two hundred sera were retested for anaplasmosis using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sero-prevalence rates were 1.5 to 2.3-fold greater with the ELISA than with the card agglutination test.  相似文献

West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with rapid global expansion. The virus circulation is confirmed in many countries of Mediterranean Basin and Southern and Central Europe. In our study detection of specific WNV antibodies was performed in horses and cattle sera samples collected from October 2010 to April 2011. Serum samples were randomly taken from different parts of Croatia and tested by IgG and IgM ELISA. Positive serological results were confirmed by virus neutralization assay (VN-assay) and plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). Results showed that WNV antibodies were present in 72 out of 2098 horse sera (3.43%) and 3 of 2695 cattle sera (0.11%). The highest seroprevalence was found in Eastern Croatia in counties next to Hungarian, Serbian and Bosnia and Herzegovinian state borders. In Adriatic part of Croatia positive animals were found only in the westernmost county, near Slovenian and Italian borders. Geographic distribution and number of positive horses indicated that WNV is highly present in Croatia and spreading from East to West. However, positive horses in westernmost part of country indicate possible second origin of spreading. Location of serological positive cattle supports the hypothesis that seropositive cattle could be indicators of high WNV activity in the respective geographic regions.  相似文献

A comparative serological study was conducted using the Leptospira microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Genotypes hardjoprajitno (HP), hardjo-bovis A (HA), and hardjo-bovis B (HB) were compared to determine which best detects hardjo antibody in cattle serum. A total of 2,431 cattle sera were tested. Sera were collected from 4 geographic regions of the United States. Samples were obtained without knowledge of breed, age, vaccination history, or herd health status. Of the sera collected, 60.7% (1,475) were negative at the 1 : 100 dilution for all three genotypes. Serological reactivity at the 1 : 100 dilution was identified in 956 (39.3%) of the sera tested. Considering the 956 positive sera, 941 (98.4%) reacted to HP, whereas the remaining 15 sera (1.6%) reacted to only HA and/or HB. A total of 394/941 (41.9%) HP positive sera failed to react to HA or HB. The results of this study support the conclusion that HP antigen was most sensitive in detection of hardjo antibody.  相似文献

An antigen capture assay for the detection of circulating hypodermin C was developed for diagnosis of hypodermosis. A murine monoclonal antibody to recombinant hypodermin C was raised using rapid immunization and a one-step hybridization-cloning technique. A highly reactive, specific monoclonal antibody was tested using sera spiked with known quantities of purified, native hypodermin C or with recombinant hypodermin C. Sensitivity of 96.4% and specificity of 95.6% for the antigen capture assay was assessed using a panel of sera from animals unexposed to cattle grubs and from cattle with palpation proven cattle grub infestations. Data from this panel of sera was used to establish the cut-off OD for further testing. The kinetics of circulating hypodermin C was assessed using the assay in three groups of cattle artificially infested with 50, 100 or 200 first instar Hypoderma lineatum. Antigen was first detected approximately 6 weeks after infestation. The amount of antigen detected increased in each group of animals reaching peaks at different times in each group. Levels of antigen fell quickly following arrival of grubs at the back and completion of the molt to second instar.  相似文献

A total of 719 serum samples collected from clinically healthy cattle from eight provinces located in different districts of South Africa were examined by the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the standard indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to determine the serological prevalence of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina. The results showed that 35.3% and 39.7% of cattle were positive for B. bovis and 30% and 36.5% were positive for B. bigemina antibodies on ELISA and IFAT, respectively. Mixed infections were detected in 18.2% and 26.3% of the samples using ELISA and IFAT, respectively. Consequently, the ELISAs with recombinant B. bovis spherical body protein-4 (BbSBP-4) and B. bigemina C-terminal rhoptry-associated protein-1 (BbigRAP-1/CT) were proven to be highly reliable in the serological diagnoses of bovine babesiosis in South African cattle, as evidenced by the significant concordance rates when the results were compared to those of IFAT. Moreover, the serological prevalence was significantly different among the tested provinces, in which the ranges exhibited between 15% and 73% for B. bovis infection and between 13% and 54% for B. bigemina infection. High sero-positive rates were present in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, while the lowest rate was in the North West province. Our data provide important information regarding the current seroprevalence of bovine babesiosis in South Africa, which might be beneficial in developing rational strategies for disease control and management.  相似文献

Sera from 200 sheep, swine and cattle, respectively, collected at slaughter at each of 3 abattoirs situated in the north, middle and south of Sweden were examined for the presence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the indirect fluorescent antibody test. Seropositive animals (titre ≥ 1:20) were found at the following rates from north to south: sheep 60%, 66% and 68.5%, swine 9%, 2.5% and 37%, and cattle 10%, 6 % and 35%. The significance of the serological findings is discussed, and it is concluded that T. gondii infection is common in Swedish farm animals. Thus the meat from particularly swine and sheep may provide a potential source of human toxoplasmosis.  相似文献

Swine are one of significant reservoirs and sources of Leptospira infections for man. Serological screenings help to effectively control the epidemiological situation in swine herds and to prevent transmission of Leptospira from animals to man. The purpose of this study was to investigate, by the use of serological methods, the prevalence of infections caused by selected Leptospira serogroups in swine population in Poland. A total of 7112 swine serum samples were examined. The samples were collected from January to October 2008 and came from 280 counties situated in all 16 provinces of Poland. All sera were examined preliminary by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using heat-stable antigenic preparation. The samples positive or doubtful in ELISA were investigated by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) with use of serovars Icterohaemorrhagiae, Pomona, Canicola, Sejroe, Tarassovi and Of the collected sera examined by ELISA 73 (1.02%) samples were positive, 85 (1.20%)--doubtful and 6954--negative. Among ELISA-positive and doubtful sera 64 samples (coming from 14 provinces) were recognized in MAT as positive. Among MAT positive samples 42.19% of sera demonstrated titres with serovar Pomona, 32.81%--with Sejroe, 14.06%--with Icterohaemorrhagiae, 6.25%--with Tarassovi, 3.13%--with Grippotyphosa and 1.56% with Canicola.  相似文献

Serums from unvaccinated groups in 5 herds of beef-cattle in South-East Queensland were tested for antibodies to Babesia argentina at intervals while the cattle were increasing in age from about 6 months. An indirect fluorescent antibody test was used. Infection rates, indicating the proportions of the groups that had been exposed to tick-transmitted infection were 49.2, 56.9 and 69.1% for cattle aged approximately 6, 12 and 18 months, respectively. The degree to which cattle were infested with the vector, Boophilus microplus, was estimated. There appeared to be a strong correlation between infection rate and tick incidence. Four serologically negative animals died of either confirmed or suspected babesiosis during the sampling period. Sickness was observed in 5 others. The serological status of 57 changes from negative to positive without symptoms being observed, indicating relatively low mortality and morbidity rates in the enzootic situation studied.  相似文献

A total of 438 sera from Korean native beef cattle in 9 provinces were tested for Neospora caninum antibodies using an immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Eighteen (4.1%) cattle were positive by IFAT. The titers ranged from 1:200 (10 animals), 1:400 (5 animals), 1:800 (2 animals) to 1:1,600 (1 animal). Although the seroprevalence was slightly higher in Chungnam (8.9%), this was not significantly different from those noted in Kyunggi, Kangwon, Kyungbuk, Kyungnam, and Cheju provinces. Sera obtained from beef cattle in the provinces of Chungbuk, Jeonbuk and Jeonnam were all negative. Neospora positive sera were also tested for anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using a commercial latex agglutination test (LAT). Antibody to T. gondii was detected in only 1 (5.6%) of 18 N. caninum positive sera. These results indicate that N. caninum and T. gondii infection are present at a low level in the Korean native beef cattle.  相似文献

Schistosomiasis is an important zoonosis and some livestock especially cattle play a crucial role in disease transmission in endemic areas. In order to establish an effective diagnostic method for detecting Schistosoma japonicum infection in cattle, the gene encoding large hydrophilic domain of Sj23 (LHD-Sj23) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with GST tag. The purified rLHD-Sj23-GST was used as an antigen in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). The sera samples collected from cattle experimentally infected with S. japonicum from week 0 to week 54 post-infection were examined by rLHD-Sj23-GST iELISA. Furthermore, 484 clinical sera samples collected from cattle in schistosomiasis epidemic and free areas in China were tested by this method with a positive rate of 18.4% and 3.44%, respectively. The findings from this study indicated the established iELISA is a useful method for diagnosing S. japonicum infection in cattle and could be used in serological surveys to map out the prevalence of this disease.  相似文献

Seroprevalence of hypodermosis in cattle in some provinces of Turkey   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of hypodermosis in cattle in the east and southeast of Turkey. For this purpose, a total of 634 sera samples of cattle were collected from Malatya, Elazig and Diyarbakir provinces of east and southeast of Turkey from November 2005 to February 2006. The sera were analyzed using a Hypodermin C antigen by means of indirect ELISA. One hundred and forty eight (23.3%) out of 634 cattle were seropositive for hypoderma antibodies. The highest percentage of seropositivity were detected at Elazig province (26.3%) followed by Malatya (22.3%) and Diyarbakir provinces (22.1%). The seropositivity rate was higher in female (31%) than male (14.1%). When the mean is considered by animal breed, the highest seropositivity was detected at local breed (27.7%) following crossbreed (26.8%) and purebreed (19.7%). There was a positive relation between age and seropositivity. Seropositivity rate was 15.9% in 2 and under ages while these rates were 38.1% and 30.4% in 3-4 ages and 5 and up ages, respectively.  相似文献

A regional survey was conducted in Nepal for antibody to Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in domestic animals. Sera from pigs, and limited numbers of ducks and horses were collected from 16 districts in 2002-2003 and subjected to three serological tests. Of 270 porcine sera tested by C-ELISA, 55% were found positive for the presence of antibodies against Japanese encephalitis virus. Additional testing for IgM antibody to JEV revealed less than 2% of C-ELISA positive sera had evidence of recent JEV infection. Plaque reduction neutralisation tests (PRNT) using JEV, Murray Valley encephalitis (MVEV) and Kunjin (KUNV) viruses implicated JEV as the flavivirus associated with the observed antibody response in most sero-positive pigs. However, eight porcine sera with predominant neutralising antibody for KUNV (an Australasian subtype of West Nile Virus) provided evidence for the circulation of West Nile virus in Nepal.  相似文献

H3N8 canine influenza virus (H3N8 CIV) was first reported as a novel canine respiratory pathogen in racing greyhounds and shelter dogs in the U.S.A. in 2004. Phylogenetic analyses determined that this host-adapted pathogen originated from interspecies transmission of an equine influenza virus (EIV), but it is unknown when the transmission occurred prior to discovery in 2004. The objective of this study was to determine if racing greyhound and shelter dog sera collected from 1984 to 2004 had serological evidence of exposure to H3N8 CIV or EIV. Archived sera from 702 racing greyhounds and 1568 shelter dogs were tested for H3 antibodies to the original 2004 CIV isolate, as well as EIV isolates from 1991 to 1999. None of the racing greyhounds from 1984 and 1985 had detectable H3 antibodies. One of the shelter dogs, which entered a north Florida shelter in 2004, was seropositive. For racing greyhounds sampled from 1999 to 2004, 133/520 (26%) dogs had antibodies to both CIV and EIV H3 proteins. The annual seroprevalence was 27% in 1999, 28% in 2000, 10% in 2001, 1% in 2002, 41% in 2003, and 28% in 2004. The odds of H3 seropositivity were greater among dogs that raced > or =6 months, raced on > or =2 tracks, and raced in 1998, 2002, and 2003. Many of the seropositive dogs raced at tracks that were involved in 'kennel cough' epidemics in 1998-1999 and 2002-2003. Based on serological evidence, a H3N8 canine influenza-like virus was circulating in racing greyhounds in the U.S.A. as early as 1999.  相似文献

A serological survey was carried out to detect specific (serotype 20) and a group bluetongue virus antibody in cattle and sheep serums collected in Western Australia during the period January 1 1978 to June 30 1979. Of 18,849 cattle serums examined by the gel diffusion precipitin test (GDPT), 9.7% were positive and 6.1% gave doubtful results. All 1949 sheep serums tested were negative. Precipitin antibody was demonstrated in 22.5% of serums from Kimberley cattle and 3.6% of cattle serums from the Northwest. Serums collected from cattle in the South were consistently negative in GDPT. When 915 serums that reacted in the GDPT were further tested by the complement fixation test (CFT), 164 were positive. The percentage of CFT positive serums increased as the GDPT reaction became stronger. 2467 serums collected from cattle in Kimberley and Northwest areas and tested by the CFT, 175 (7.1%) were positive. These 175 positive serums were also examined by GDPT and 164 doubtful or positive reactions were obtained. The virus neutralisation (VNT) using serotype 20 virus was carried out on 3804 serums, including all serums that reacted in the GDPT, and 57 were positive. When the VNT positive serums were examined in the other 2 tests, 47 serums were either positive or doubtful in the GDPT and 8 were positive in the CFT. The presence of bluetongue virus group antibody in cattle serums closely followed the suggested distribution pattern of Culicoides brevitarsis but specific serotype 20 neutralising antibody was limited to cattle serums from stations situated north of latitude 17 degrees S in an area of mean annual rainfall higher than 700 mm.  相似文献
