The seroprevalence of Listeria monacytogenes in sport horses bred in Ankara province

Özet: Bu çalışma, Ankara Yöresinde sportif amaçlı yetiştirilen atlarda Listeria monocytogenes'in seroprevalansının saptanması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Klinik olarak sağlıklı toplam 100 attan elde edilen serumlar Osebold absorbsiyon testi ile L. monocytogenes antikorları yönünden incelenmiştir. 1/100 ve üzerindeki titrasyon basamaklarındaki aglütinasyon varlığı pozitif olarak kabul edilmiştir. 100 serum örneğinden 62 (% 62) serum örneği çeşitli dilusyonlarda pozitif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Seropozitif bulunan serumların antikor titreleri incelendiğinde, 29'u (% 46,7) 1/100, 31'i (% 50) 1/200, 2si (% 3,2) 1/400 titrede Listeria monocytogenes antikorları saptanmıştır.

Ankara yöresinde sportif amaçlı yetiştirilen atlarda listeria monacytogenes'in seroprevalansı

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in horses bred for sport in the province of Ankara. Sera collected from 100 clinically healthy horses were tested for the presence of L monocytogenes antibodies using the Osebold absorption test. Agglutination titers > 1:100 were accepted as positive results and a seropositivity rate was determined. Of the 100 serum samples, 62 were seropositive for L. monocytogenes antibodies detected at dilutions of 1:100 (n = 29, 46.7%), 1:200 (n = 31, 50%), and 1:400 (n = 2, 3.2%).
