Heterogenous within-herd seroprevalence against epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus type 8 (EHDV-8) after massive virus circulation in cattle in France, 2023.
Background and objectives: The emergence of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus-8 (EHDV-8) in mainland France in 2023 led to thousands of clinical outbreaks in cattle herds and likely led to the natural immunization of a large number of animals. However, uncertainties persist regarding the extent of this immunity, both within herds and across affected regions. This study therefore aimed at investigating the variability of within-herd seroprevalence in clinically affected and non-affected herds across geographical areas with differing levels of disease incidence.
Methodology: A study was launched in February 2024 to assess the variability of within-herd seroprevalence in three geographical areas with varying EHDV-8 clinical incidence. A total of 2,763 serums samples from cattle over 24 months in 30 herds with clinical outbreaks and 31 herds without reported clinical case were analyzed using a commercial competitive ELISA.
Results: A strong south-north seroprevalence gradient was observed, with the highest animal-level seroprevalence evidenced in the southernmost zone (Pyrenean Piémont) (82.6%, CI 95%: 81.1-83.9), which also experienced the highest incidence of clinical outbreaks. In contrast, significantly lower seroprevalence levels were found in the more northern areas: (zone 2: 11.6, 95% CI: 10.7-12.7; zone 3: 0.3, 95% CI: 0.1-1.1), where clinical outbreaks were less frequent. The within-herd seroprevalence varied widely among herds but was significantly higher in those located in the southernmost zone, compared to other areas. Within each zone, no significant differences in seroprevalence were observed between clinical outbreak herds and non-outbreak herds.
Discussion: This study highlights significant geographic and between herd variability in seroprevalence against EHDV-8 after the major virus circulation experienced in 2023, and provides critical insights into regional risks and the potential impact of future EHDV-8 circulation.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy.
Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field.
Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
