Seroprevalencia de pleuroneumonía contagiosa bovina en tres municipios de la provincia Namibe, Angola

[摘要] In order to determine the contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) seroprevalence in Namibe province, Angola, a cross-sectional study was carried out in three municipalities of the province. One thousand two hundred thirty six adult cattle between one-eight years old from 35 herds were researched by a commercial competitive ELISA.  The herds selected had eight to 12 months of vaccination at the time of sampling. As a result, the herd prevalence was of 94,3 % and no significant differences were found among the municipalities evaluated; while the individual prevalence was 17,5 % with significant differences among municipalities Camucuio was the one with the lowest value, while Bibala and Namibe had had similar values. This paper is the first study of CBPP seroprevalence in Angola
