Abstract
Aim:
This study was
conducted to find out the seroprevalence of Rotavirus(RV)
infection among the pig population of Arunachal Pradesh.
Materials and
Methods:
Serums samples
were collected from piglets of age ranging from 1 week to 6 months
and the sows associated with the piglets that were reared under
organized and unorganized system of management in six different
districts of Arunachal Pradesh. The prevalence of RV specific
antibodies was detected using a polyclonal antibody-based indirect
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (i-ELISA).
Results:
The study
revealed that out of 394 serum samples, 255 (64.72%) samples were
found to be positive for RV-specific antibody in i-ELISA.
Considering the samples from different districts, Papumpare
district of Arunachal Pradesh showed highest numbers of
seropositive animals (68.75%) followed by upper Subansiri (64.91%)
while West Siang district showed lowest positivity rate (61.22%).
Conclusion:
As
considerable seropositivity was recorded among pig population of
Arunachal Pradesh in this study, there is urgent need to establish
high-impact and cost-effective public health intervention tools,
key among them being the introduction of strict hygiene practice
and RV vaccination program, to greatly reduce the number of deaths
due to diarrheal diseases. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the
first report on the prevalence of RV infection from pigs of
Arunachal Pradesh.
Keywords:
