during late summer beginning of autumn 1998. The infection in cattle
generally is mild and only certain strain of bluetongue virus results
clinical disease, however they serve as reservoir of infection.
Materials and methods. In total, 1348 bovine sera blood
samples from serum bank were tested by serological competitive ELISA
method. Identified cluster positive farms were identified and were
follow on at farm level. In follow on survey 42 animals, located in five
target different districts were bleed and tested by using cELISA tested.
The five representative cELISA positive samples were sent for
serotyping at reference bluetongue laboratory Teramo, Italy.
Results. In 1390 sera blood samples 104 were positive for
presence of total IgG against bluetongue virus. The VN test confirmed
the c-ELISA results revealing the presence of antibodies against BTV
serotype 9. Conclusion. The bluetongue virus serotype 9 circulate in
cattle population in Albania. The prevalence based on competitive
ELISA test results and titer based on serum neutralization test low. | Keywords : | | Bluetongue virus serotype 9, weak positive, serum
