Abstract

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is a retroviral infection of horses. Horses infected by EIA virus (EIAV) become inapparent carriers that remain asymptomatic for the remainder of their life span and serve as infection source to other horses. In this study, agar gel immunodiffusion test and ELISA were used to investigate the presence of antibodies to EIAV in equines. A total of 67,042 equine serum samples from 19 states and two union territories were tested during April 1999 to September 2012. The results revealed that none of the animals were positive for antibodies to EIAV from 1999 to December 2009. However, two EIAV sero-positive cases one each from indigenous and thoroughbred equines were detected in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Occurrence of EIA after a long gap of 11 years is indicative of reemergence of EIA in India which warrants concerted efforts in nationwide surveillance and monitoring for detection and elimination of EIAV carrier animals to prevent EIA outbreak.

十多年来(1999-2012年)印度马传染性贫血病毒血清监测

马传染性贫血(EIA)是马的一种逆转录病毒感染。感染EIA病毒(EIAV)的马成为隐性携带者，在其剩余寿命中保持无症状，并成为其他马的感染源。本研究采用琼脂凝胶免疫扩散试验和ELISA法检测马体内EIAV抗体的存在情况。1999年4月至2012年9月期间，对来自19个邦和两个联邦直辖区的67,042份马血清样本进行了检测。结果显示，从1999年到2009年12月，没有一只动物的EIAV抗体呈阳性。然而，2010年和2012年分别在本地马和纯种马中发现了2例EIAV血清阳性病例。时隔11年再次发生环境影响评估表明印度环境影响评估再次出现，因此需要在全国范围内开展协调一致的监测和监测工作，以发现和消除环境影响评估病毒携带动物，以防止环境影响评估的爆发。
