RESUMENEl estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar la seroprevalencia del virus de la diarrea viral (VDVB) en bovinos criollos de la provincia de Melgar, Puno. Se obtuvieron muestras de sangre de bovinos (n= 347) machos y hembras mayores a seis meses de edad para la detección de anticuerpos neutralizantes mediante la prueba de neutralización viral. El 48.7 ± 0.1% (166/347) de los animales presentó anticuerpos contra el VDVB. No se detectaron animales portadores del virus. Anticuerpos fueron detectados en animales de todos los distritos con prevalencias entre 15.7 a 94.1%. Los títulos de anticuerpos estuvieron en un rango de 2 a >256, indicando que el VDVB está ampliamente difundido en bovinos de la zona. Las altas prevalencias de anticuerpos evidencian intensa actividad viral; así mismo, los títulos altos indican infecciones recientes y sugieren la existencia de factores que promueven la difusión viral como las ferias ganaderas y la falta de control en el tránsito interno de animales en la zona.Palabras clave : bovinos criollos, virus, diarrea viral bovina, crianza mixta, anticuerpos, neutralización viral ABSTRACTThe prevalence of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection was evaluated in 347 criollo cattle of both sexes and older than 6 months of age in small herds of the province of Melgar, Puno. Serum samples were tested for antibodies against BVDV using the viral neutralization test. The 48.7 ± 0.1% (166/347) of the samples had antibodies against BVDV. Animals carrying on the virus virus were not detected. Antibodies were detected in all sampled herds and the prevalence varied from 15.7 to 94.1%. Antibodies titers varied from 2 to >256, showing that BVDV infection is widespread in the local cattle population, suggesting the presence of factors promoting the viral distribution such livestock fairs and lack of control for animal movements within the region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
