Bovine genital campylobacteriosis caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis (Cfv) is a genital infection that threatens the cattle industry. Detection and identification of Cfv are key factors in control programmes. Trade regulations should be based on scientifically and internationally accepted methods of detection and identification of Cfv. Such methods are described in the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals. A study was conducted to determine which methods are in use in OIE Member Countries and to get an overview of new or improved tests. A questionnaire was sent to OIE Member Countries, and 26 out of 166 were returned. Globally, a diversity of methods for the detection and identification of Cfv are in use. The authors conclude that there is a lack of harmonisation that may have consequences for the description of the health status of countries and may lead to disputes with respect to trade regulations.
由胎儿弯曲杆菌性病亚种(Cfv)引起的牛生殖器弯曲杆菌病是一种威胁养牛业的生殖器感染。Cfv的检测和鉴定是控制计划中的关键因素。贸易法规应基于科学且国际认可的Cfv检测和鉴定方法。此类方法在世界动物卫生组织(OIE)的《陆生动物诊断试验和疫苗手册》中有描述。开展了一项研究以确定OIE成员国正在使用哪些方法,并对新的或改进的检测方法有一个总体了解。向OIE成员国发送了一份调查问卷,166个国家中有26个回复。在全球范围内,正在使用多种检测和鉴定Cfv的方法。作者得出结论,缺乏协调统一可能会对各国健康状况的描述产生影响,并可能导致在贸易法规方面出现争端。
