The highly divergent SRLV genotype E has recently been characterized in Italy as a low pathogenic caprine lentivirus in the Roccaverano breed. The availability of a genotype specific diagnostic test based on a comparative assay, using a combination of genotype specific recombinant antigens allows a wide serosurvey in other goat populations. The island of Sardinia still has the highest small rum...

Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of coxiellosis in animals and Q fever (a zoonotic disease) in humans. Cattle, sheep and goats are the main reservoirs of infection for humans. This serological survey was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of coxiellosis in sheep and goat populations in Khorasan Razavi province, Iran. Four hundred and sixty animals (255 sheep from 29 herds in 12...

A disease survey was conducted between 2014 and 2018 in the Polish goat population to determine seroprevalence of pestiviral infection. Blood samples from 910 goats (782 females 128 males) were collected 62 herds tested for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection with a competitive ELISA serial fashion. Between 10 13 adult female randomly selected each herd, assuming individual-level herd ...

A cross sectional study was done to understand the effect of genotypes, farm management and agro-climatic conditions in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh on seroprevalence of Mycoplasma mycoides Subsp. capri (Mmc) in goats. Goat serum was screened by Slide Agglutination test (SAT) for Mmc antibodies. It was found that there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in mycoplasma seroprevalenc...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological situation of the caprine herpesvirus 1 (CpHV-1) infection in nine districts in mainland France, mostly in the south, near Italy or Spain, where high seroprevalence has been observed. Two more central areas were also included in the study. The serosurvey was carried out in 9564 goats (275 herds) using bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) ...

ABST RACT In this study we aimed to investigate the presence of antibodies to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis by ELISA in blood samples obtained from animals of at least 2 years of age selected by random sampling method in cattle, sheep and goat herds in Burdur province in Southwestern Turkey and to determine the apparent and true individual-animal, within-herd and between-herd sero...

Goat milk composition is affected by feeding, and in semiarid rangeland, information on Creole goat physicochemical lacking. For the fulfillment of this objective, three agroecological regions (AR) considering altitude (lowland 87, highland 779, mountain 1309 m above sea level) with different botanical compositions were chosen. Every AR analyzed accounted for 30 herds, a total 90 herds. The res...
