Using the Agar Gel Precipitin technique the sera of 397 African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and 90 sera of other common game species were examined for bluetongue antibodies. Of the adult buffalo 283 out of 325 (87 per cent) were positive. Buffalo calves were positive in 25 out of 72 cases (35 per cent). Positive reactions were also recorded in lechwe (Kobus leche), tsessebe (Damaliscus lunatus), red hartebeeste (Alcelaphus buselaphus), gemsbok (Oryx gazella), sable (Hippotragus niger) and impala (Aepyceros melampus).
采用琼脂凝胶沉淀技术，检测了397头非洲水牛（非洲野水牛）的血清以及90份其他常见猎物物种的血清中的蓝舌病抗体。在325头成年水牛中，有283头（87%）呈阳性。72头水牛犊中有25头（35%）呈阳性。在水羚（水羚属）、转角牛羚（白纹牛羚）、红麋羚（非洲大羚羊）、南非大羚羊（长角羚属）、貂羚（黑马羚）和黑斑羚（高角羚）中也记录到了阳性反应。
