This study reports the seroprevalence of bovine viral infections in llamas (Lama glama) in Argentina. This is the first study made in the country including 390 llamas and testing antibodies against eight viruses. Samples were collected from nine farms distributed in three different provinces: Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Jujuy. The samples were tested for antibodies against eight viruses known to infect cattle: bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAdV III), bovine enterovirus (BEV), bovine rotavirus (BRV), bluetongue virus (BTV), bovine leukemia virus (BLV), and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The antibody prevalences detected in llamas were: BHV-1 in 0.7% of the samples (3/390), BVDV in 2.0% (8/390), BAdV III in 5.1% (20/390), BEV in 4.6% (18/390), BRV in 87.6% (342/390). No antibodies were detected against BTV, BLV and VIAA (viral infection associated antigen) in any of the analyzed camelids.
本研究报告了阿根廷美洲驼（小羊驼）中牛病毒感染的血清流行率。这是该国首次开展的一项研究，涉及390只美洲驼，并检测了针对八种病毒的抗体。样本取自分布在三个不同省份的九个农场：布宜诺斯艾利斯省、科尔多瓦省和胡胡伊省。对样本进行了针对已知感染牛的八种病毒的抗体检测：1型牛疱疹病毒（BHV-1）、牛病毒性腹泻病毒（BVDV）、3型牛腺病毒（BAdV III）、牛肠道病毒（BEV）、牛轮状病毒（BRV）、蓝舌病病毒（BTV）、牛白血病病毒（BLV）和口蹄疫病毒（FMDV）。在美洲驼中检测到的抗体流行率如下：BHV-1在0.7%的样本中呈阳性（3/390），BVDV在2.0%的样本中呈阳性（8/390），BAdV III在5.1%的样本中呈阳性（20/390），BEV在4.6%的样本中呈阳性（18/390），BRV在87.6%的样本中呈阳性（342/390）。在任何分析的骆驼科动物中均未检测到针对BTV、BLV和VIAA（病毒感染相关抗原）的抗体。
