#183 Sero-prevalence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis infecti<strong>on</strong> in low<br />

productive domestic ruminants with clinical and sub-clinical Johne’s disease in India<br />

Objective: Status <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infecti<strong>on</strong> was estimated in<br />

domestic ruminants’ in India using ‘indigenous ELISA kit’.<br />

Methods: Indirect ELISA (un-absorbed) using protoplasmic antigen from ‘Indian Bis<strong>on</strong> Type’ MAP <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> goat<br />

origin was used to screen all species <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> domestic ruminants. OD values were c<strong>on</strong>verted to S/P ratios to know<br />

status <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Johne’s disease (JD) as negatives, suspected, low positive, positive and str<strong>on</strong>g positives. Animals in<br />

str<strong>on</strong>g positives were c<strong>on</strong>sidered positive for JD. Sero-prevalence was estimated <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> basis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> screening <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

serum samples submitted to Microbiology laboratory <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Central Institute for Research <strong>on</strong> Goats, Makhdoom,<br />

over period <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 4 years (2004 – 2008), in-view <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> lack <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> diagnostic kits against JD in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> country. Total <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2478<br />

serum (1289 cows, 515 buffaloes, 536 goats and 138 sheep) were screened in 4 years and samples were<br />

driven from Punjab, Hayana, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan states <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> India..<br />

Results and C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s: Of 2478 samples sero-prevalence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP was 22.5% in domestic ruminants<br />

in 5 states <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> India. Species-wise sero-prevalence was 23.3, 21.3, 23.5 and 17.4% in cattle, buffaloes, goats<br />

and sheep, respectively. Distributi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2478 serum samples with respect to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> status <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> JD was 20.4, 6.4, 8.5,<br />

42.0 and 22.5% as negatives, suspected, low positives, positives and str<strong>on</strong>g positivess, respectively. Comparis<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> ELISA kit with fecal culture, show maximum correlati<strong>on</strong> with str<strong>on</strong>g positive category, however, fecal culture<br />

detected positive animals from all categories <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> S/P ratio. Samples in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> positive category also exhibited<br />

substantial correlati<strong>on</strong> with culture, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>refore if positive and str<strong>on</strong>g positive were c<strong>on</strong>sidered positive, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>n seroprevalence<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP infecti<strong>on</strong> in domestic ruminants in India was 64.5%. Low per animal productivity substantiated<br />

this high sero-prevalence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP infecti<strong>on</strong> in domestic ruminants <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> country. Still c<strong>on</strong>sidering culture being<br />

positive in o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r categories also, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se figures may still be under statement. Sero-prevalence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP infecti<strong>on</strong><br />

in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> domestic ruminants <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> basis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> screening <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2478 animals over period <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 4 years (2004-08) from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

5 states <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> India was 22.5%.<br />
