Seroprevalenca leptospiroze konja na beogradskom području u periodu od 1998. do 2008. godine

Abstract

Serološka ispitivanja leptospiroze konja obavljena su u periodu od 1998. do 2008. godine, na Beogradskom epizootiološkom području. Izvršen je serološki pregled 1701 uzoraka krvnog seruma konja iz privatnih i društvenih ergela, konjičkih klubova, hipodroma i sa individualnog sektora. Broj seropozitivnih konja iznosio je 107 (6,29%). Najzastupljeniji serovarijeteti Leptospira vrste bili su: Leptospira grippotyphosa 42 (2,47%), Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae 19 (1,12%), Leptospira pomona 17 (0,99%), Leptospira canicola 16 (0,94%), Leptospira bataviae 11 (0,65%) i Leptospira australis 2 (0,1%). Antitela protiv Leptospira sejroe nismo ustanovili ni u jednom pregledanom uzorku krvnog seruma konja. Titar specifičnih antitela kretao se od 1:100 do 1:10000. Najveći broj seruma imao je titar antitela 1:300, zatim 1:100 i 1:1000. Najmanji broj seruma imao je titar antitela 1:10000. Seropozitivni konji na leptospirozu ustanovljeni su samo u sporadičnim slučajevima, tako da većih epizootija na Beogradskom područ ju nije bilo.

Serological investigations of leptospirosis in horses were carried out in the epizootic territory of Belgrade during the period from 1998 to 2008. Serological examinations were performed on 1701 blood serum samples of horses from private and sociallyowned stables, riding clubs, hippodromes, and from the individual sector. The number of seropositive horses was 107 (6.29%). The most represented serovarieties of the Leptospira species were: Leptospira grippotyphosa 42 (2.47%), Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae 19 (1.12%), Leptospira pomona 16 (0.99%), Leptospira canicola 16 (0.94%), Leptospira bataviae 11 (0.65%), and Leptospira australis 2 (0.1%). Antibodies against Leptospira sejroe were not established in a single sample of the examined horse blood serums. The titer of specific antibodies ranged from 1:100 to 1:10000. The biggest number of serums had an antibody titer of 1:300, then 1:100, and 1:1000. The smallest number of serums had an antibody titer of 1:10000. Horses seropositive to leptospirosis were established only in sporadic cases, so that no major epizooties were established in the territory of Belgrade.
