Abstract
Aim:
The present study aimed to investigate the seroepidemiology of
infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) infection in the
non-vaccinated cattle population in northern part of Tamil Nadu,
India.
Materials and Methods:
A
total of 255 sera samples were collected from cattle having the
history of respiratory and reproductive disorder from cattle of
different age, breeds, and sex. All the sera samples were
subjected to indirect ELISA for the diagnosis of IBR antibodies.
Results:
Results revealed that the seroprevalence of IBR infection among
non-vaccinated cattle population was of 65.88%. No significant
difference was noticed in the prevalence of IBR infection
between cattle showing respiratory (63.64%) and reproductive
form (70.89%) (p≥0.05). A higher prevalence was noticed in
animals above 3 years of age (59.60%) and in crossbred animals
(71.26%) than young and non-descript animals. This study showed
the higher prevalence of IBR infection in female (67.92%) than
in male (33.33%).
Conclusion:
Cattle population in this part can better be protected with
vaccination than leaving them unvaccinated and seromonitoring
shall have to be stressed with regular attempts to isolate and
characterize the causative agent for IBR.
Keywords:
cattle, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, infectious bovine
rhinotracheitis, prevalence.
