Confounding of Brucellosis and Blue Tongue in Trans Humane Sheep Flock of Tamilnadu and other Herd Health Impact by S Kirshna Kumar in CDVS in Lupine Publishers
This present study was carried out to assess the prevalence of
brucellosis and blue tongue in a trans humane sheep flock of
Tamil Nadu, India. This Sheep flock had a history of inconsistent
abortion, repeat breeder, poor fertility rate and higher prevalence
of still birth. Serum samples were collected from sheep by random
sampling. Serum samples were subjected to Rose Bengal Plate
agglutination test (RBT) and ELISA. The risk factors like pregnancy,
abortion, age and sex were correlated to the Brucella seropositivity.
This study also assessed for the presence of Bluetongue in aborted
sheep. It was found that ELISA could be the choice of test for
testing of Brucellosis (with the percentage of 57.14). Clinically
healthy rams were found to be with brucellosis seropositivity and
posed infertility to ewes. It was observed that in trans humane flocks.
Brucellosis and Blue tongue has a confounding phenomenon
for ovine abortions.
