Bovine tuberculosis (TB) control programs generally rely on the tuberculin skin test (TST) for ante-mortem detection of Mycobacterium bovis-infected cattle.
Present findings demonstrate that a rapid antibody test based on Dual-Path Platform (DPP) technology, when applied 1-3 weeks after TST, detected 9 of 11 and 34 of 52 TST non-reactive yet M. bovis-infected cattle from the US and GB, respectively. The specificity of the assay ranged from 98.9% (n = 92, US) to 96.0% (n = 50, GB) with samples from TB-free herds. Multi-antigen print immunoassay (MAPIA) revealed the presence of antibodies to multiple antigens of M. bovis in sera from TST non-reactors diagnosed with TB.
Thus, use of serologic assays in series with TST can identify a significant number of TST non-reactive tuberculous cattle for more efficient removal from TB-affected herds.
牛结核病(TB)控制计划通常依靠结核菌素皮肤试验(TST)对感染牛分枝杆菌的牛进行宰前检测。
目前的研究结果表明,一种基于双路径平台(DPP)技术的快速抗体检测方法,在TST后1至3周应用时,分别从美国和英国检测出11头TST无反应但感染牛分枝杆菌的牛中的9头,以及52头中的34头。该检测方法对来自无结核病牛群的样本的特异性范围为98.9%(n = 92,美国)至96.0%(n = 50,英国)。多抗原印迹免疫分析(MAPIA)显示,在被诊断为结核病的TST无反应者的血清中存在针对牛分枝杆菌多种抗原的抗体。
因此,将血清学检测与TST串联使用,可以识别出大量TST无反应的结核病牛,以便更有效地从受结核病影响的牛群中清除。
