          Abstract

          El propósito de este estudio fue investigar la seroprevalencia de la infección por H. somni y determinar algunos factores de riesgo asociados con su seropositividad en ganado para carne en la región ganadera de Yucatán, México. Asimismo, se estimó el coeficiente de correlación dentro de hatos (re) y el efecto de diseño (D). Los animales se seleccionaron usando un muestreo aleatorio en dos etapas. Las muestras de sangre se recolectaron de 490 animales en 35 hatos, y los sueros se sometieron a análisis para detectar anticuerpos contra H. somni, mediante la prueba de inmunodifusión doble en agar. La información acerca del hato y de cada animal muestreado se obtuvo mediante una encuesta aplicada personalmente en el rancho. Los datos se analizaron mediante pruebas de Ji-cuadrada. Diez hatos tuvieron cero animales seropositivos, 19 tuvieron uno, y seis tuvieron dos animales seropositivos. Treinta y uno de los 490 animales fueron seropositivos. La prevalencia animal ajustada por el tamaño del hato fue 5.5% (intervalo de confianza al 95% = 3.5%, 7.5%). La seroprevalencia de los animales en los seis municipios varió de 3.6% a 9.5%, pero no se encontraron diferencias significativas (P = 0.89). Los valores de r e y D para la seroprevalencia de H somni fueron 0 (EE = 0.01) y 1 (EE = 0.19), respectivamente. Las pruebas de Ji-cuadrada no mostraron asociación (P > 0.10) entre la presencia de anticuerpos contra H. somni y los factores de riesgo investigados.

          Translated abstract

          The purpose of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of H. somni infection and to determine some risk factors associated with the seropositivity in beef cattle in the livestock region of Yucatan, Mexico. Furthermore, the intraherd correlation coefficient (r e) and the design effect (D) were estimated. The animals were selected using a two-stage random sampling. Blood samples were collected from 490 animals from 35 herds, and sera were tested for the detection of antibodies against H. somni, using the double agar gel immunodiffusion test. Information about each herd and animal sampled was recorded by a questionnaire personally applied in the farm. Data were analyzed by chi-square tests. Ten herds had zero seropositive animals, 19 had one and six had two seropositive animals. Thirty one out of 490 animals were seropositive. The animal seroprevalence adjusted to herd size was 5.5% (95% confidence interval = 3.5%, 7.5%). Animal seroprevalence in the six municipalities ranged from 3.6% to 9.5%, but no significant differences (P = 0.89) were found. The r e and D values for H. somni seroprevalence were 0 (SE = 0.01) and 1 (SE = 0.19), respectively. The chi-square test did not show association (P > 0.10) between the presence of antibodies against H. somni and the risk factors investigated.

          Seroprevalence of and risk factors for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis in beef cattle herds of Yucatan, Mexico.

          The main objective of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the seroprevalence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in a population of non-vaccinated beef cattle in the livestock region of Yucatan, Mexico and to determine potential risk factors related to the seroprevalence. Also, we estimated the intraherd correlation (r(e)) and design effect (D) of IBR seropositivity. Cattle were selected by two-stage cluster sampling. Blood samples were collected from 564 animals from 35 herds. Sera were tested for antibodies against IBR using the serum-neutralisation test. Information regarding the herd and each animal sampled were recorded through a personal interview with the farmer or farm manager. The data were analysed using fixed-effects logistic multiple regression. Thirty-four of the 35 herds had at least one seropositive animal. The animal true seroprevalence was 54.4%. Animals in large herds or in production had higher odds of seropositivity than those in small herds or growing. The r(e) and D were 0.17 and 3.62, respectively.

            The Haemophilus somnus disease complex (Hemophilosis): A review.

            Haemophilus somnus has long been associated with thrombotic meningoencephalomyelitis but has also been identified as the agent responsible for other clinical diseases including respiratory disease, reproductive problems, myocarditis, otitis, conjunctivitis, mastitis, and polyarthritis. Exposure to the bacteria is widespread and infection may occur via the respiratory tract from urogenital excretions and secretions.Diagnosis and treatment of hemophilosis may be easy or difficult depending on the manifestation presented, and special procedures must be taken to facilitate isolation of the organism. Satisfactory control measures are not available; vaccination is the only preventive measure demonstrating a beneficial effect.
