SUMMARY
Nagaraju NR, Isloor
S, Mathyanarayana Rao M, Rajasekhar M., Prevalence of Yersinia
Antibodies in the Serodiagnosis of Bovine Brucellosis,
Online J Vet Res 5: 197-205, 2001.
A serological survey of bovine yersiniosis was performed to determine if Y. enterocolitica
serotype O:9 was responsible for false positive reactions in the
diagnosis of brucellosis in India.From a total of
1521 sera, 505 were positive and 1016 negative to Brucella spp with avidin-biotin ELISA. 108 were positive for Yersinia antibodies (7.1% incidence) of which 43 were
positive for both yersiniosis and brucellosis, and 65
were positive for yersiniosis with antibodies against
Y. enterocolitica other than serotype O:9. The Yersinia test did not identify false positive brucellosis
reactions; for Y. enterocolitica O:9 (or
other Yersinia species) and B. abortus, only a brucella
test will diagnose the disease. Monoclonal antibody ELISA, Lymphocyte
transformation or Interferon-gamma assay may be more specific for Brucella spp. The results suggest
a low incidence of Y.enterocolitica
O:9 in Indian cattle.
KEY WORDS: Brucella abortus - Bovines – Cross-reaction -
