A quantitative assessment of the validity of animal-health surveys using stochastic modelling

This paper presents a stochastic simulation model to evaluate the efficacy of regional or national surveys aimed at identifying infection in populations of animals. The process of evaluation involves specification or calculation of cluster-level test sensitivity and specificity, which are derived from two probability distributions of the number of individual-level positive tests expected from non-infected and infected clusters, respectively. Probability distributions for the number of positive clusters expected in a situation of freedom from infection and under various levels of cluster prevalence are specified and used to determine survey properties (the survey being considered a diagnostic system), and ROC curves are drawn. Likelihood ratios allow investigators to state the extent to which a survey result is more likely to be observed if the region or country is infected at a given prevalence than if it is free from infection. The result of a survey carried out to investigate the presence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in Switzerland is used to illustrate this approach. The model can be adapted to a wide range of survey designs.

Vaccination with a genotype 1 modified live vaccine against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus significantly reduces viremia,viral shedding and transmission of the virus in a quasi-natural experimental model

The present study assessed the efficacy of vaccination against genotype 1 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in terms of reduction of the transmission. Ninety-eight 3-week-old piglets were divided in two groups: V (n = 40) and NV (n = 58) that were housed separately. V animals were vaccinated with a commercial genotype 1 PRRSV vaccine while NV were kept as controls. On day 35 post-vaccination, 14 NV pigs were separated and inoculated intranasally with 2 ml of a heterologous genotype 1 PRRSV isolate (“seeder” pigs, SP). The other V and NV animals were distributed in groups of 5 pigs each. Two days later, one SP was introduced into each pen to expose V and NV to PRRSV. Sentinel pigs were allocated in adjacent pens. Follow-up was of 21 days. All NV (30/30) became viremic after contact with SP while only 53% of V pigs were detected so (21/40, p < 0.05). Vaccination shortened viremia (12.2 ± 4 versus 3.7 ± 3.4 days in NV and V pigs, respectively, p < 0.01). The 50% survival time for becoming infected (Kaplan–Meier) for V was 21 days (CI_95% = 14.1–27.9) compared to 7 days (CI_95% = 5.2–8.7) for NV animals (p < 0.01). These differences were reflected in the R value as well: 2.78 (CI_95% = 2.13–3.43) for NV and 0.53 (CI_95% = 0.19–0.76) for V pigs (p < 0.05). All sentinel pigs (10/10) in pens adjacent to NV + SP pens got infected compared to 1/4 sentinel pigs allocated contiguous to a V + SP pen. These data show that vaccination of piglets significantly decrease parameters related to PRRSV transmission.     

猪繁殖与呼吸综合征的抗病育种研究进展

猪繁殖与呼吸综合征(porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome,PRRS)是近期危害养猪业最重要的疾病之一。培育抗病性品种是该病综合防治的一个有效方法。文章围绕该病抗病育种候选基因研究的主要进展进行综述,内容涉及病毒特异性受体基因、先天性免疫相关基因、抗原递呈信号通路相关基因、胞内miRNA等,并重点就今后PRRSV疾病耐受性和提高适应性免疫应答能力的研究进行展望。     

新疆南疆一起猪繁殖与呼吸综合征的诊断

为了明确新疆南疆某猪场猪一起疫情发病原因,本研究采用发病情况调查、临床症状检查、病理学剖检、病理组织学观察和RT-PCR方法进行系统分析。结果诊断为该猪场猪感染猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒,且初步鉴定为高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征。该诊断结果为该场乃至新疆南疆猪病的诊断和防制提供一定的方法和指导意义。     

猪蓝耳病和猪瘟疫苗免疫后抗体检测分析

[目的]仔猪在14日龄接种蓝耳病毒疫苗,25日龄接种猪瘟疫苗,检测接种蓝耳病疫苗和猪瘟疫苗后的免疫合格率。[方法]采用猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒和猪瘟病毒ELISA抗体检测试剂盒检测抗体表达量。[结果]猪蓝耳病疫苗免疫3 d后,6.7%免疫个体为抗体阳性,免疫7 d后,26.7%免疫个体为抗体阳性,免疫14 d后,85%免疫个体为抗体阳性,免疫后30 d 100%免疫个体为抗体阳性;猪瘟疫苗免疫3 d后,13%免疫个体为抗体阳性,免疫7 d后,40%免疫个体为抗体阳性,免疫14 d后,58.3%免疫个体为抗体阳性,免疫30 d后,83.3%免疫个体为抗体阳性。[结论]仔猪在蓝耳病疫苗免疫3 d后抗体效价最低,30 d后免疫效果很好,接种猪瘟疫苗3 d后抗体效价最低,仔猪不足以抵抗病毒侵袭,虽然蓝耳病疫苗和猪瘟疫苗接种后30 d,抗体水平都达到了农业部规定的70%的标准,但是猪瘟疫苗免疫效果不能达到100%理想效果。     

间接酶联免疫吸附试验检测猪生殖与呼吸系统综合征血清抗体的研究

本研究建立了检测猪生殖与呼吸系统综合征（ＰＲＲＳ）血清抗体的间接酶联免疫吸附试验（ＥＬＩＳＡ），其抗原包被浓度为２μｇ／ｍｌ，血清最适稀释度为１∶１００。试验结果表明：ＥＬＩＳＡ的敏感性高于间接免疫荧光抗体试验（ＩＦＡ），是一种切实可行的诊断方法。     

重组白细胞介素-2提高PRRS抗体阳性猪的猪瘟疫苗免疫效果试验

观察了重组白细胞介素-2（IL-2）对健康成年猪和PRRS抗体阳性猪的猪瘟疫苗免疫效果的影响。结果显示,重组IL-2和猪瘟疫苗一起免疫健康猪,20d后间接血凝抗体滴度达到1∶64的猪的比例为87.5％,而不注射IL-2的对照组抗体滴度可以达到这一水平的比例只有25％。给经2次猪瘟疫苗免疫但抗体滴度在1∶32以下的PRRS抗体阳性猪单独注射IL-2,20d后,注射前检测不到抗体的猪都检测到了抗体,注射前抗体滴度在1∶8～1∶16之间的猪的抗体滴度提高到1∶32～1∶64。再次用猪瘟疫苗和IL-2共同免疫,可使抗体滴度提高4倍以上。而不注射的对照组抗体滴度则略有下降。说明重组IL-2可以减轻PRRS感染所引起的免疫抑制,提高猪瘟疫苗的免疫效果。     

对杭州地区4种猪病的血清学调查分析

通过对于杭州地区规模化猪场PRRS、PCV2、PR、SF等4种疾病抗体的血清学检测,发现PRRS、PCV2、PR感染率依次降低,PR的野毒感染率31.2%,总抗体阳性率为68%,猪瘟的免疫保护率为74%;下半年与上半年相比,PRRS稍有升高,SF免疫合格率有所下降,PR免疫转阳率下降,感染率稍有升高,表明防疫形势不容乐观.PRRS已经有大部分场次(93%)发生,75%的场次存在PCV2感染,7%的场次感染PR,6.4%的场次猪瘟免疫抗体不合格.建议继续做好PR、SF的免疫预防,完善PRRS疫苗,加强PCV2疫苗的研制.     

2010年上半年11省市规模猪场疫病监测与剖析

为了解近期发病猪场几种病毒性疫病的流行状况,采用RT-PCR和PCR方法,对2010年1月至6月期间,来自11省(市) 50个猪场共147份病料进行猪瘟病毒（CSFV）、猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（PRRSV）、高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（HP-PRRSV）、伪狂犬病毒（PRV）和猪圆环病毒2型（PCV2）检测,并采用ELISA方法对其中26个猪场458份血清样品进行伪狂犬gE野毒抗体检测。结果表明,PCV2阳性率最高,为75.3%（70/93）;PRRSV阳性率次之,为57.4%（78/136）,HP-PRRSV阳性率为43.5%（54/124）;CSFV和PRV的阳性率分别为37.7%（52/138）和21.0%（21/100）;伪狂犬gE野毒抗体阳性率为16.4%（75/458）。同时检出2种及2种以上病毒的样品占46.9%（69/147）,其中以HP-PRRSV+PCV2、CSFV+PCV2及CSFV+HP-PRRSV+PCV2三种形式最为常见。PRRSV（50.0%）是猪场繁殖障碍性疾病中的最常见病原;CSFV（56.0%）和PCV2（48.0%）是断奶前后仔猪腹泻的常见病原;HP-PRRSV（53.5%）、CSFV（50.7%）和PCV2（48.0%）是保育猪发生高热症的常见病原。该检测结果为猪场疫病的诊断与防控提供了参考。
