Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is an emerging single-stranded RNA virus being classified under serogroup of family. This study aimed to detect antibodies against SBV in cattle for the first time in three eastern provinces of Iran. Blood samples were randomly collected from jugular veins of 273 cattle, from 19 farms in Razavi Khorasan, South Khorasan and Sistan and Baluchestan provinces. Separated sera were analyzed to find SBV antibody using ID vet SBV indirect multi-species enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test kit. From a total of 273 serum samples analyzed for SBV presence, 12.45% (n = 34) were positive for SBV antibody. Risk factors including breed, age and geographic area showed a statistically significant relationship with the virus prevalence. In conclusion, the seroprevalence of SBV is not high; but it is considerable in the studied parts of Iran. This is the first study regarding SBV seroprevalence in cattle population of eastern Iran and further studies about the virus epidemiology are recommended.
施马伦贝格病毒(SBV)是一种新出现的单链RNA病毒,属于该病毒科血清群。本研究旨在首次在伊朗东部三省的牛群中检测抗SBV抗体。从拉扎维呼罗珊省、南呼罗珊省以及锡斯坦-俾路支斯坦省19个农场的273头牛的颈静脉中随机采集血样。使用ID vet SBV间接多物种酶联免疫吸附检测试剂盒对分离出的血清进行分析,以查找SBV抗体。在总共273份检测是否存在SBV的血清样本中,12.45%(n = 34)的样本SBV抗体呈阳性。包括品种、年龄和地理区域在内的风险因素与病毒流行率存在统计学上的显著关系。总之,SBV的血清阳性率不高;但在伊朗的研究地区相当可观。这是关于伊朗东部牛群中SBV血清阳性率的首次研究,建议对该病毒的流行病学进行进一步研究。
