Abstract

The objective of the present study is to assess the seroprevalence of bluetongue (BT) among domestic ruminants of Northern Kerala. Sera samples from cattle (82), goat (40) and sheep (50) collected from districts of Wayanad, Kozhikode and Palakkad respectively were tested using competitive enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay (cELISA). Out of the 172 samples tested, the overall BT seroprevalence was 9.3%. There is an increase in prevalence from previous reports which may indicate possible outbreaks in future.
