Abstract

A serogical survey for the presence of bluetongue virus (BTV) antibodies in cattle was conducted at selected sites in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nanu. Group-specific antibodies to BTV were estimated by a competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (cELlSA) using polyclonal antibodies. Results revealed that seroprevalence of BTV in AP, KS and TN were 65. 19% and 79.51% and 80.95% respectively. The variation in per cent prevalence of antibodies to BTV infection according to the age and bread type was discussed.
