Bluetongue in Bovines: A serological Survey in Punjab, India
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was conducted to ascertain the seroprevalence of bluetongue in cattle and buffalo population in Punjab, India. Total 92 serum samples were collected from female bovines belonging to 3 different agroclimatic zones of Punjab and subjected to cELISA test for the detection of anti-bluetongue antibodies. The overall apparent seroprevalence of bluetongue was 8.7%, while true serological prevalence was calculated 7.8%. There is no clinical report on bluetongue in small and large ruminants in Punjab. Though, a very high seroprevalence (53.0%) was reported in sheep (58.6%) and goat (50.6%) population of the state in a previous study. The prevalent serotypes of BTV circulating in this region are needed to identify in further study.
