Seroprevalence of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and Toxoplasma gondii in sheep in semi-arid region of Ceará state

ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted to investigate in 20 extensive sheep farms for the seroprevalence of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (n=402) and Toxoplasma gondii (n=228). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for the detection of antibodies to C. pseudotuberculosis/T. gondii. It was observed that C. pseudotuberculosis showed the highest prevalence in the region (34.07%) with statistically significant presence (p

摘要：本研究针对20家放牧型绵羊养殖场，分别对402份假结核棒状杆菌（Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis）样本与228份刚地弓形虫（Toxoplasma gondii）样本的血清流行率展开调查。本研究采用酶联免疫吸附试验（Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA）检测假结核棒状杆菌/刚地弓形虫的特异性抗体。研究发现，假结核棒状杆菌在该区域的阳性率最高，达34.07%，且其检出具有统计学显著性（p
