Prevalence of antibodies to Crimean-haemorrhagic fever-Congo virus in cattle in northern Nigeria

J U Umoh et al. Int J Zoonoses. 1983 Dec.

Abstract

A seroepidemiological survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of antibodies to Crimean-haemorrhagic fever - Congo(CHF-C) virus among cattle in 3 ranches with varying degree of tick infestation. Sera were collected from 1164 animals and were tested by agar gel diffusion precipitation test (AGPT) for antibodies to CHF-C virus. About 25.7% of the sera had precipitating antibodies against CHF-C virus. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of antibodies between the ranches despite the varying degree of tick infestation.
