Animals' sera collected on Easter Island from December 1964 to February 1965 were tested by appropriate methods for the presence of antibodies to various infections. These included, ornithosis, Q-fever, brucellosis, Johne's disease, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis and vesicular stomatitis viruses. It appeared that the cattle and sheep were exposed to the ornithosis group of agents. The sheep were also exposed to toxoplasmosis. The low-grade reactions observed on the cattle sera with the leptospira and brucella antigens were not sufficient to indicate past infection. All sera tested with Q-fever and Johne's disease antigens gave negative reactions. The results suggested that neither strain of vesicular stomatitis virus had yet been introduced into this restricted animal population.
1964年12月至1965年2月在复活节岛采集的动物血清,通过适当方法检测了针对各种感染的抗体。这些感染包括鸟疫、Q热、布鲁氏菌病、副结核、钩端螺旋体病、弓形虫病和水泡性口炎病毒。看来牛和羊接触过鸟疫病原体组。绵羊也接触过弓形虫病。用钩端螺旋体和布鲁氏菌抗原对牛血清观察到的低度反应不足以表明过去曾感染。用Q热和副结核抗原检测的所有血清均呈阴性反应。结果表明,两种水泡性口炎病毒株均尚未传入这个有限的动物群体。
