Comparison of Three Immunological Assays to Detect Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) Antibodies in Buffaloes

چکیده
The present study involved in analysis of 81 sera samples collected from Murrah (34), Surti (20) and non-descript buffaloes (27) with history of respiratory and reproductive disorders for IBR antibodies by indirect Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Virus neutralization test (VNT) and Passive haemagglutination assay (PHA). The immunological assays viz., indirect ELISA, VNT and PHA revealed that 50.62%, 43.21 % and 27.16 % of IBR positivity respectively. The overall positivity irrespective of serological test was found to be 54.32 %. The sensitivity, specificity of PHA and VNT in comparison with ELISA were 46.34 %, 70.73 % and 85.00 %, 92.50 % respectively. Moderate agreement between ELISA and VNT (kappa = 0.56) and fair agreement between ELISA and PHA (kappa =0.38) were found for the detection of IBR antibodies. Significant difference (p < 0.01) was found between indirect ELISA and PHA in the detection of BHV-1 antibodies. VNT and PHA were found to be useful as the quantitative tests to estimate antibody level in buffalo whereas ELISA could be performed for herd screening programme.

Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis is a highly contagious disease caused by the bovine herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1), resulting in significant losses to livestock around the world. BoHV-1 is a major pathogen of cattle, primarily associated with respiratory/genital tract infections and abortion. In the present study, we determined the presence of antibodies in 120 serum samples of cattle with the histo...

Differentiation of strains of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by neutralization kinetics with late 19S rabbit antibodies.
Two vaccine, two respiratory (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis [IBR]), and two genital (infectious pustular vulvovaginitis [IPV]) strains of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus were compared by neutralization kinetics using late 19S antibody (AB). The two vaccine strains were indistinguishable from one another, but were neutralized far more rapidly than the other four strains when either a...
