The uterine tubes from 405 ewes, collected at an abattoir, were assessed grossly and microscopically for abnormalities that correlated with serological evidence of exposure to Chlamydophila abortus. Gross lesions were found in 41 ewes and 86 had microscopic lesions. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) of serum was used as an indication of exposure of individual ewes to C. abortus; 52 were found to be positive. Chi-squared analysis indicated no association between EIA-positive animals and lesions of the uterine tube.
从一家屠宰场收集了405只母羊的输卵管,对其进行大体和显微镜检查,以寻找与暴露于流产嗜衣原体血清学证据相关的异常情况。41只母羊有肉眼可见的病变,86只有显微镜下可见的病变。血清酶免疫测定(EIA)用于指示个体母羊是否暴露于流产嗜衣原体;发现52只呈阳性。卡方分析表明,EIA阳性动物与输卵管病变之间无关联。
