Detection of Anti-Map Antibodies in Serum Samples of Slaughtered Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) by Indigenous ELISA Kit in Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh
Abstract:
Recent emerging evidences have established a link between Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), suggesting its zoonotic importance hence the present study was designed to find out seroprevalence of MAP in buffaloes of Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh by using indigenous ELISA kit. The study was conducted in one to ten-years-old 150 buffaloes (120 females and 30 males) belonging to different places of Malwa region slaughtered at Cantonment Board slaughter house, Mhow and Nagar Nigam Indore. The overall seroprevalence was found to be 89.33% (134/150) whereas sex-wise, it was recorded as 91.56 and 80% in case of females and males, respectively.
