Comparison of serology and culture for detecting Salmonella infection of 5 to 7 month old swine
نویسنده
چکیده
and Implications There was a significant direct correlation between the presence of Salmonella in ileocecal lymph nodes and the titer of antibody to Salmonella in meat juice. It was also demonstrated that there is no significant correlation between titer of antibody in serum collected from pigs immediately prior to slaughter and the presence of Salmonella in the feces on the floor of pens. These conclusions suggest that the level of antibody to Salmonella in meat juice can be used to determine whether or not groups of pigs at slaughter contain Salmonella in their ileocecal lymph nodes.

The study objective was to evaluate three methods of Salmonella enterica prevalence estimation in swine herds (faecal culture, culture of abattoir-collected samples, and serum ELISA). From each of six swine herds, we necropsied approximately 100 finishing pigs (> 70 kg); one-half on farm and the other half at the abattoir, after transport and approximately 2.5 h holding. We collected the same s...

Background & Aim: Mumps infection is endemic in Iran. Due to high percentage of unvaccinated young people(10y(2.1%). Acute mumps infection(positive IgM) was seen in 8.3% and previous immunity to mumps(IgG) in 24.1% of all. The highest incidence of acute infection(IgM) was in 3-5-year old group, but it was not different in other age groups(P=0.11). Previous infection(IgG was also higher in 3...

An indirect fluorescent-antibody (IFA) technique, which employed adsorbed Behring polyvalent I O antiserum, was used to detect Salmonella spp. in environmental water systems. The IFA method used in this study detected 95% of Salmonella serotypes encountered in human infections in France, with a sensitivity threshold of 7.5 x 10(3) bacteria per ml of wastewater. Specificity was assessed by testi...
