Seroprevalence of Mycoplsma Mycoides cluster in small ruminant using monoclonal antibody-based C Elisa in Dakahilia province

Abstract EN

In this study, 1103 sheep and goat at five different localities in Dakahilia Governorate, Egypt, during a period from November 2013 until March 2014 were examined clinically for respiratory manifestation.

a total of 212 sheep and goat with different ages showing respiratory manifestations.

Serum samples from diseased animals were examined using monoclonal antibody-based C ELISA Kit for Diagnosis of CBPP to study the prevalence of Mycolpasma mycoides cluster.

Our result revealed that, prevalence of Mycoplasma spp was (52.35%) in both sheep and goat while there are higher significance between species P < 0.05 and odds ratio = 0.3381 it was higher in goat (67.81%) than in sheep (41.6 %) moreover, they are higher significance between two age groups P < 0.05 and odds ratio equal 2.2722 it was higher in young animals < 2 year than in adult > 2 year old age (60.29 %) and (38.15 %) respectively
