Serological surveys of leptospiral antibodies in cattle were carried out in Macon and the surrounding counties of East Central Alabama. A total of 286 bovine serum samples were screened for the presence of antibodies against live antigens from twelve pathogenic leptospiral serotypes using a microscopic agglutination test. The most frequently encountered serotypes were Leptospira hardjo (47%), Leptospira wolffi (34%), Leptospira canicola (12%), Leptospira pomona (10%) and Leptospira ballum (10%). Leptospira autumnalis, Leptospira grippotyphosa, Leptospira icterohemorrhagiae, Leptospira pyrogenes and Leptospira tarassovi were observed in less than 5% of the samples.
在梅肯市以及阿拉巴马州中东部周边各县开展了牛钩端螺旋体抗体的血清学调查。使用显微镜凝集试验,对总共286份牛血清样本进行筛查,以检测针对12种致病性钩端螺旋体血清型活抗原的抗体。最常遇到的血清型为哈德乔钩端螺旋体(47%)、沃尔夫钩端螺旋体(34%)、犬钩端螺旋体(12%)、波摩那钩端螺旋体(10%)和拜伦钩端螺旋体(10%)。秋季钩端螺旋体、致热钩端螺旋体、出血性黄疸钩端螺旋体、热解钩端螺旋体和塔拉索夫钩端螺旋体在不到5%的样本中被检测到。
