Seroprevalance of Leptospirosis in Horse

Objective & Hypothesis:In this study, serum samples from 140 horses in Bursa, in north western Turkey w ere examined by the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for the presence of antibody against Leptospira interrogans seragroup pomona, canicola, icterohaemorragiae and hardjo.

📊

Key Findings & Data:A titre of 11100 or more was cansidered positive for MAT.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence rate between male and female.

🔬Design:Research Article

Abstract

In this study, serum samples from 140 horses in Bursa, in north western Turkey w ere examined by the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for the presence of antibody against Leptospira interrogans seragroup pomona, canicola, icterohaemorragiae and hardjo. A titre of 11100 or more was cansidered positive for MAT. Of the samples examined, ll (7.85%) were positive against only L. icterohaemorrhagiae. Of the positive samples, 9 had titers of 11100, 1 had titre of 1/200, 1 had titre of 1/400. There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence rate between male and female.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Bursa bölgesindeki 140 at'a ait serum örnekleri, Mikroskobik Aglutinasyon Test (MAT) ile Leptospira interrogans serogrup pomona, canicola, icterohaemorragiae, hardjo'ya karşı antikor mevcudiyeti yönünden incelendi. MAT için, 11100 ve yukarı titreler pozitif kabul edildi. in..: celenen örneklerin ll (% 7 ,85)'i sadece L. icterohaemorrhagiae ile pozitif reaksiyon verdi. Pozitif örneklerin 9'u 11100, 1 'i 1/200, 1 'i 1/400 titr'eye sahiptir. Prevalans oranı bakımından erkekler ile dişil~r arasında istatistiki olarak önemli bir fark saptanmadı.
