目的：在埃塞俄比亚，蓝舌病的状况、传播该疾病的媒介和所涉及的血清型尚不清楚。为了解埃塞俄比亚西南部小型反刍动物蓝舌病的血清流行率及相关危险因素，采用竞争性酶联免疫吸附试验(c-EL ISA)对422份血清样本进行了蓝舌病毒特异性抗体筛查，其中绵羊和山羊血清阳性率为30.6%(129/422)，可信区间为26.2-35%。对年龄、性别、海拔、身体状况、动物种类等危险因素进行多因素分析，发现动物种类、年龄、海拔高度对蓝舌病血清阳性率有显著影响(P<0.05)。
OBJECTIVE: The status of bluetongue disease, vectors for transmission of the disease and the serotypes involved are not clearly known in Ethiopia. This sero-epidemiological study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of bluetongue in small ruminants of South Western Ethiopia.RESULT: 422 serum samples were screened for the presence of bluetongue virus (BTV) specific antibodies using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA) and 30.6% (129/422) (confidence interval CI 26.2-35%) of the sheep and goat serum samples were found positive. Multivariate analysis of several risk factors like age, sex, altitude, body condition and species of animals were studied and it was observed that species of animals, age and altitude had significant influence (P0.05) effect on seropositivity to bluetongue.
