Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted between November and December 2012 in Musoma district of Mara region, Tanzania with the aim of determining seroprevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in healthy indigenous goats at a time of sampling and potential within herd risk factors for the disease. A total of 320 goat sera were examined for the presence of specific antibodies against Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae using competitive ELISA. Of the sera tested, 206 (64.4%) were positive for CCPP. The seroprevalence of CCPP was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in adult (54.9%) than in young (45.1%) goats and also higher in male (66.7%) than female (63.7%) goats (P<0.05). With respect to goats’ origin, the serological prevalences were 74.6 %, 64.8% and 55% for Kiagata, Makongoro and Nyanja divisions respectively. In conclusion, the present study has shown that the prevalence of CCPP in Musoma district is high. Furthermore, control and preventive measures should be devised in order to mitigate the impact of the disease. Key words : Mycoplasma capricolum subsp . capripneumoniae , Small East African goats, competitive ELISA

坦桑尼亚马拉地区Musoma地区山羊传染性山羊胸膜肺炎的流行情况

2012年11月至12月期间，在坦桑尼亚马拉地区的Musoma区进行了一项横断面研究，目的是在抽样时确定健康本地山羊的传染性山羊胸膜肺炎(CCPP)的血清患病率以及该疾病在羊群中的潜在危险因素。对320份山羊血清进行了山羊支原体特异性抗体检测。竞争性ELISA法检测卡普肺炎。在检测的血清中，206例(64.4%)呈CCPP阳性。成年山羊血清CCPP阳性率(54.9%)显著高于幼年山羊(45.1%)，公山羊血清CCPP阳性率(66.7%)显著高于母山羊(63.7%)(P<0.05)。在山羊来源方面，Kiagata区、Makongoro区和Nyanja区血清学患病率分别为74.6%、64.8%和55%。总之，本研究表明，在Musoma地区，CCPP的患病率很高。此外，应制定控制和预防措施，以减轻这种疾病的影响。关键词:山羊支原体;卡普肺炎菌，小东非山羊，竞争性ELISA
