Description Not Available
Despite reports of BVDV infection in several domestic
and wild ruminants, no information exists for mithun
(Bos frontalis) species. Hence, this study was undertaken to
determine prevalence of BVDV infection in mithuns, which
contribute significantly to local economy in the North Eastern
region of India. Blood and serum samples were collected between
2013 and 2016 from mithuns (n = 466) belonging to the
states of Nagaland, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh. Serum
samples were tested for BVDV antibodies by a commercial
ELISA and leukocytes were tested for BVDV by real-time
RT-PCR. The overall true seroprevalence rate was 13.1%
(95% confidence interval, CI: 6.9–17.8%) with higher prevalence
in mithuns reared under semi-intensive system (27.5%)
than in free-ranging mithuns (7.6%). Among the three states,
seroprevalence (16.2%) was highest in Nagaland, while prevalence
rates varied markedly among geographical locations.
Age-wise data showed highest seroprevalence rate in >6-yearold
animals (20.6%) than 2–6 years old (16.9%), 6 months–
2 years old (8.5%), and
