This study aimed to assess the fluctuations of antibody serum titers for and in naturally infected crossbred cows during gestation and to investigate transplacental transmission of ; 51 cows were monitored during pregnancy by monthly serologic testing by indirect fluorescent antibody test. 33 cows were seronegative for both and , 10 were seropositive only for , 5 were seropositive only for and 3 were seropositive for both and . In both protozoan infections, great variation in antibody levels in pregnant cows was observed, and there was significant increase (p<0.05) in the comparison between the averages of serological titration per trimester. There was a significant correlation (p<0.05) between month and probability of seropositivity for . We conclude that pregnancy influences antibody titers of crossbred cows naturally infected with and/or , and that serologic testing for in pregnant cows from the sixth month of gestation onward may decrease the number of false negative results.
本研究旨在评估自然感染的杂交奶牛在妊娠期 和 的抗体血清滴度波动情况,并研究 的胎盘传播;通过间接荧光抗体试验每月进行血清学检测,在孕期对51头奶牛进行了监测。33头奶牛对 和 均为血清阴性,10头仅对 血清阳性,5头仅对 血清阳性,3头对 和 均血清阳性。在这两种原生动物感染中,均观察到妊娠奶牛抗体水平有很大差异,且每三个月血清学滴定平均值之间的比较有显著增加(p<0.05)。月份与 血清阳性概率之间存在显著相关性(p<0.05)。我们得出结论,妊娠会影响自然感染 和/或 的杂交奶牛的抗体滴度,并且从妊娠第六个月起对妊娠奶牛进行 的血清学检测可能会减少假阴性结果的数量。
