A serological survey for hydatidosis among buffaloes in Orumia
Authors
Abstract:
Hydatid cyst is an important and zoonotic infection caused by cystic stage of Echinococcus granulosus. It is a major and economic problem in most areas of the world that livestock are kept such as Iran. In this study, a total of 111 buffalo,s sera from Center of Buffalo Sperm Preparation (CBSP), Orumia (West Azarbayjan province, Iran, 2003) were examined for the presence of hydatidosis by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 5 μg protein per mL of antigen B from sheep hydatid cyst fluid was used in this assay. Optimum dilution for rabbit anti-bovine peroxidase conjugate (Sigma) was used 1:5000. Overall results indicated 32.4% of serum samples positive for hydatidosis. Results indicate buffalo is sensitive intermediate host for Echinococcus granulosus in this province.

Serological Survey of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus in Buffaloes (Syncerus caffer) in Zambia
A study was conducted to determine the serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease viruses (FMDV) circulating in African buffaloes (Syncerus caffer) from selected areas in Zambia. Sera and probang samples were collected between 2011 and 2012 and analysed for presence of antibodies against FMDV while probang samples were used to isolate the FMDV by observing cytopathic effect (CPE). Samples with CPE wer...
