Abstract
A total of 459 serum samples from unvaccinated backyard chickens originating from 4 villages in Mandlakazi district, Southern Mozambique, were tested for the presence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae antibodies through commercial enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay [ELISA] kits. Anti-MG and anti-MS antibodies were detected in all villages surveyed and the overall seroprevalence was 48.8% [95% CI 39.1-57.8] and 84.5% [95% CI 76.8-90.4], respectively. The risk of being seropositive for both diseases was higher [P < 0.05] in Chidenguele village than other villages. It is concluded that MG and MS serum antibodies are present in backyard chickens.
对来自莫桑比克南部Mandlakazi县4个村庄的未接种疫苗的后院鸡共459份血清样本,通过商用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)试剂盒检测鸡败菌支原体和滑膜支原体抗体的存在。所有调查村庄均检测到抗mg和抗ms抗体,血清总阳性率分别为48.8% [95% CI 39.1-57.8]和84.5% [95% CI 768 -90.4]。Chidenguele村两种疾病血清阳性的风险均高于其他村[P < 0.05]。由此可见,鸡群中存在MG和MS血清抗体。
