چکیده
ABST RACT In this study we aimed to investigate the presence of antibodies to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis by ELISA in blood samples obtained from animals of at least 2 years of age selected by random sampling method in cattle, sheep and goat herds in Burdur province in Southwestern Turkey and to determine the apparent and true individual-animal, within-herd and between-herd seroprevalences of paratuberculosis. For this purpose, a total of 450 blood serum samples were collected from 150 cattle, 150 sheep and 150 goats, and the individual-animal, within-herd and between-herd seroprevalences of the disease were determined by using a commercial ELISA kit. The apparent and true seroprevalences based on the individual-animal, within-herd and between-herd were calculated as 8% 8.9%, 17.1% 20.4%, 46.7% 57.8% in cattle; 48% 100%, 48% 100%, 100% 100% in sheep; and 24% 35.9%, 25.7% 38.6%, 93.3% -100% in goats, respectively. The distribution of disease according to cattle, sheep and goat breeds was not statistically significant, although an increase in the infection rate was recorded with increase in age of the animals and size of the herd (P>0.05). In conclusion, this study indicated that in cattle and especially sheep/goat paratuberculosis were widespread in Burdur province and many measures will be required to reduce the rate of infected animal and/or herds.
