Seroprevalence of paratuberculosis in selected population of ruminants in India

The objective of this study was to estimate the sero-prevalence of paratuberculosis in selected population of ruminants from different parts of India using a highly specific commercial ELISA kit (Institut Pourquier, France). Out of 1822 sera screened, 22.5%, 20%, 11.6% and 4% of 414 indigenous cattle, 264 cross-bred cattle, 465 sheep and 359 goats, respectively, were found to be positive. A total of 320 buffalo sera from central west (n= 80) and northern (n= 240) parts of India did not show antibody prevalence. It was concluded that Pourquier ELISA was a sensitive and highly specific test and paratuberculosis was widely prevalent in ruminant population of several parts of India.
