In this study, we report an abortion outbreak in a ruminant herd consisting of goats, sheep, and cows, with scenarios in two consecutive years. In early 2017, abortions occurred in ∼70% of goats and 66% tested positive for () and 40% of goats were positive for (). In February 2018, the same herd reported an abortion rate of 75%, with 55% positive for , 36% for , and 22% for . Six goat milk samples were positive for by molecular analysis. Three family members were positive for . could be considered as the main cause of abortions in the first and second year. Animals that undergo an infection and abortion are prone to secondary infections. Vaccination or other rapid interventions should be initiated to protect animals and humans.
本研究报告了一个由山羊、绵羊和奶牛组成的反刍动物群在连续两年发生的流产疫情。2017 年初,约 70%的山羊发生流产,其中 66%的检测结果为()阳性,40%的山羊为()阳性。2018 年 2 月,同一畜群报告流产率为 75%,其中 55%的检测结果为阳性,36%的检测结果为阳性,22%的检测结果为阳性。分子分析显示,有 6 份山羊奶样本呈阳性。有 3 名家庭成员的检测结果为阳性。可以认为在第一年和第二年,是引起流产的主要原因。感染和流产的动物易发生继发感染。应启动疫苗接种或其他快速干预措施,以保护动物和人类。
