Abstract

Background: Leptospirosis is one of the important zoonotic diseases prevailing in most tropical countries worldwide. The disease is endemic in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India and affects humans and animals. Due to its zoonotic importance, continuous monitoring and surveillance are important. The present work was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and distribution of different serovars with respect to different ecoregions in cattle and goats. Methods: A total of 100 samples each from cattle and buffalo were tested by using a microscopic agglutination test (MAT) using a panel of 12 serogroups as antigens. Samples showing a titer of more than 1:40 were considered positive. Result: Leptospirosis is one of the important zoonotic diseases with high endemicity reported from the A and N islands. The present study reports the prevalence of multiple serovars in cattle and goats, however, there have not many changes in terms of the prevalence of serovars is concerned. Regular monitoring and surveillance of livestock are very much important and necessary to study the disease prevalence scenario in changing climatic conditions in these islands.

印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛牛和山羊的钩端螺旋体血清流行率

背景：钩端螺旋体病是流行于全球大多数热带国家的重要人畜共患病之一。该病是印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛的地方病，影响人类和动物。由于该病是一种重要的人畜共患疾病，因此必须对其进行持续监测和监控。本研究旨在确定不同生态区域牛和山羊的血清流行率和不同血清型的分布情况。研究方法采用显微凝集试验（MAT），以 12 个血清群为抗原，对牛和水牛各 100 个样本进行检测。滴度超过 1:40 的样本被视为阳性。检测结果钩端螺旋体病是重要的人畜共患病之一，据报告在 A 岛和 N 岛流行率很高。本研究报告了多种血清型在牛和山羊中的流行情况，但就血清型的流行情况而言，变化不大。要研究这些岛屿在不断变化的气候条件下的疾病流行情况，对牲畜进行定期监测和监控是非常重要和必要的。
