Resumo: | Animal agglomerations at commercial events such as trade fairs represent an important facilitator in infectious disease transmission. Thus, it is crucial to understand the epidemiology of infectious diseases in small ruminants. The objective of this study was to examine lentiviral presence in goats and sheep traded at the animal fair of Tabira city (Sertão region of Pernambuco) and identify possible risk factors associated with infection. We collected serum samples from 233 crossbred goats and 119 crossbred sheep, belonging to 12 breeders, at the Tabira livestock fair from November 2014 to June 2015. An epidemiological questionnaire was used to analyze the risk factors. Agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and western blotting (WB) were performed to diagnose small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infection. In the AGID test, we used maedi-visna virus (MVV) antigens for sheep and caprine arthritis/encephalitis virus (strain Cork) (CAEV-Co) antigen for goats. The WB analysis used CAEV-Co antigen for both species. Variables from the questionnaire were analyzed with univariate and multivariate statistics. One seropositive goat but no sheep was identified via AGID. According to the WB results, 15/233 goats (6.44%; CI95% = 3.94 - 10.35%) and 8/119 sheep (6.72%; CI95% = 3.45 - 12.71%) were seropositive, totaling 23/352 reactive animals (6.53%; CI95% = 4.39 - 9.61%) from 12 herds. Annual vermifugation of the animals was a significant risk factor (odds ratio = 5.9; CI95% = 1.7-19.8; p = 0.04) for disease in goats, but no variables associated with infection risks were identified in sheep. We concluded that SRLV was present in goats and sheep at the animal fair. Western blots were more sensitive than AGID for SRLV diagnosis. Practices aiming to improve sanitary management may reduce the risk of infection in goats. All studied herds included animals identified as seropositive for SRLV. Therefore, we recommend adopting measures that increase disease diagnosis while intensifying traffic control and surveillance of animal agglomerations. |

Desta forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi determinar a presença das lentiviroses em caprinos e ovinos comercializados na feira de animais da cidade de Tabira, Sertão de Pernambuco, bem como a identificação de possíveis fatores de risco associados à enfermidade. Foram coletadas amostras de soro de 233 caprinos e 119 ovinos, sem raça definida, pertencentes a doze proprietários, na feira de animais vivos do município no período de novembro de 2014 a junho de 2015. Foi aplicado questionário epidemiológico para análise dos fatores de risco. O diagnóstico da infecção por Lentivirus de Pequenos Ruminantes (LVPR) nas espécies foi realizado pela Imunodifusão em ágar-gel (IDGA) e Western Blotting (WB). Na IDGA foram utilizados antígenos de Vírus Maedi-visna (MVV) para ovinos e de vírus da Artrite-Encefalite Caprina (CAEV), cepa CAEV- Cork para caprinos, e no WB foi utilizado a cepa CAEV- Cork como antígeno para ambas espécies. As variáveis obtidas no questionário foram submetidas a análises estatísticas univariada e multivariada. Pela técnica de IDGA foi possível identificar um caprino soropositivo. Não foi detectada positividade nos ovinos. No WB 15/233 (6,44%; IC95% = 3,94 - 10,35%) caprinos e 8/119 (6,72%; IC95% = 3,45 - 12,71%) ovinos foram soropositivos, totalizando 23/352 (6,53%; IC95% = 4,39 - 9,61%) animais reagentes. Os doze rebanhos estudados apresentaram animais soropositivos. Vermifugar os animais anualmente (odds ratio = 5,9; IC 95% = 1,7 - 19,8; p = 0,04) foi identificado como fator de risco para enfermidade em caprinos. Não foram identificadas variáveis associadas ao risco de infecção em ovinos. Concluiu-se que os LVPR estão presentes em caprinos e ovinos comercializados na feira de animais. A técnica de WB apresentou maior sensibilidade que a IDGA para diagnóstico dos LVPR. Melhorias nas práticas de manejo sanitário podem reduzir o risco de infecção nos caprinos. Todos os rebanhos estudados apresentaram animais soropositivos para lentiviroses de pequenos ruminantes (SRLV), sendo recomendado adotar medidas que possibilitem aumentar o diagnóstico da doença e intensificar o controle de trânsito e fiscalização das aglomerações animais.UEL2017-08-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Empírica de Campoapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/2450610.5433/1679-0359.2017v38n4p1875Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 38 No. 4 (2017); 1875-1886Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 38 n. 4 (2017); 1875-18861679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.

Animal agglomerations at commercial events such as trade fairs represent an important facilitator in infectious disease transmission. Thus, it is crucial to understand the epidemiology of infectious diseases in small ruminants. The objective of this study was to examine lentiviral presence in goats and sheep traded at the animal fair of Tabira city (Sertão region of Pernambuco) and identify possible risk factors associated with infection. We collected serum samples from 233 crossbred goats and 119 crossbred sheep, belonging to 12 breeders, at the Tabira livestock fair from November 2014 to June 2015. An epidemiological questionnaire was used to analyze the risk factors. Agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and western blotting (WB) were performed to diagnose small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infection. In the AGID test, we used maedi-visna virus (MVV) antigens for sheep and caprine arthritis/encephalitis virus (strain Cork) (CAEV-Co) antigen for goats. The WB analysis used CAEV-Co antigen for both species. Variables from the questionnaire were analyzed with univariate and multivariate statistics. One seropositive goat but no sheep was identified via AGID. According to the WB results, 15/233 goats (6.44%; CI95% = 3.94 - 10.35%) and 8/119 sheep (6.72%; CI95% = 3.45 - 12.71%) were seropositive, totaling 23/352 reactive animals (6.53%; CI95% = 4.39 - 9.61%) from 12 herds. Annual vermifugation of the animals was a significant risk factor (odds ratio = 5.9; CI95% = 1.7-19.8; p = 0.04) for disease in goats, but no variables associated with infection risks were identified in sheep. We concluded that SRLV was present in goats and sheep at the animal fair. Western blots were more sensitive than AGID for SRLV diagnosis. Practices aiming to improve sanitary management may reduce the risk of infection in goats. All studied herds included animals identified as seropositive for SRLV. Therefore, we recommend adopting measures that increase disease diagnosis while intensifying traffic control and surveillance of animal agglomerations. |
