This study was conducted to know the status of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) antibodies in the bovines of the selected area of Uttarakhand.
A total of 489 serum samples, 392 of cattle and 97 of buffaloes were randomly collected from the unvaccinated bovine population of five districts viz., Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital, Pithoragarh, and Udham Singh Nagar and were tested by avidin biotin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for BHV-1 antibodies.
The overall prevalence was observed to be 29.03%. At district level, the highest prevalence was recorded in Pithoragarh district (40.00%) while it was lowest in district Udham Singh Nagar (16.00%). The prevalence of BHV-1 antibodies was found to be higher in unorganized dairy units (31.02%) compared to organized farms (26.51%) in Uttarakhand. Buffaloes were found to have greater prevalence (38.14%) than cattle (26.78%) while on sex-wise basis; it was found that more females (30.08%) were harboring antibodies to the virus than males (16.21%).
The study revealed that the population in the area under study has been exposed to BHV-1 and hence prevention and control strategies must be implemented.
本研究旨在了解北阿坎德邦选定地区牛群中牛疱疹病毒1型(BHV-1)抗体的状况。
从德拉敦、哈里瓦、奈尼塔尔、皮托拉加尔和乌德汉姆·辛格·纳加尔五个地区未接种疫苗的牛群中随机采集了489份血清样本,其中牛血清样本392份,水牛血清样本97份,并采用抗生物素蛋白生物素酶联免疫吸附测定法检测BHV-1抗体。
总体患病率为29.03%。在地区层面,皮托拉加尔地区的患病率最高(40.00%),而乌德汉姆·辛格·纳加尔地区的患病率最低(16.00%)。在北阿坎德邦,发现非正规奶牛场中BHV-1抗体的患病率(31.02%)高于正规养殖场(26.51%)。水牛的患病率(38.14%)高于牛(26.78%),按性别划分,发现感染该病毒抗体的雌性(30.08%)多于雄性(16.21%)。
研究表明,研究区域内的牛群已接触过BHV-1,因此必须实施预防和控制策略。
