Abstract

Sera were collected from 40 female and two male woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Saskatchewan (Canada) from March 1992 to January 1995, inclusive. The samples were examined for antibodies against smooth Brucella spp., five serovars of Leptospira interrogans, bovine viral diarrhea virus, and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). Twenty-two (52%) of 42 sera exhibited positive reactions to BHV-1 by a modified serum neutralization test, and the prevalence correlated positively with the age of the animals. No antibodies were detected against the other pathogens. This is the first reported evidence of herpesvirus infection in isolated populations of woodland caribou in western Canada.

摘要

1992年3月至1995年1月（含）期间，从加拿大萨斯喀彻温省的40只雌性和2只雄性林地驯鹿（Rangifer tarandus caribou）采集血清样本。检测样本中针对光滑布鲁氏菌属、问号钩端螺旋体的5个血清型、牛病毒性腹泻病毒和牛疱疹病毒1型（BHV - 1）的抗体。通过改良血清中和试验，42份血清中有22份（52%）对BHV - 1呈阳性反应，且流行率与动物年龄呈正相关。未检测到针对其他病原体的抗体。这是加拿大西部林地驯鹿孤立种群中疱疹病毒感染的首次报道证据。
