Abstract
For the detection of Cwptospori,mum oocysts, fecal samples were collected from 201 calves which showed diarrhea. Among the 201 samples, 29 samples (14.4%) were positive for Cwptosporinium spry. by the DMSO-modified acid-fast stain (MAFS) , 23 samples (11.4%) were positive by commercial kit (Meridian Diagnostics, Cincinnati, Ohiol and 23 by the indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA )assay employing the monoclonal antibody (mAb C6). When tested by both IFA and MAFS, 20 fecal samples were positive for Cwptosporinium oocysts whereas 169 fecal samples were negative. If the MAFS is considered a standard method for oocyst detection, the IFA showed 69% of sensitivity and 98% of specificity. When tested by both IFA and commercial kit, 22 fecal samples were positive for Cwptospori,mum oocysts while 177 samples were negative. One sample tested by IFA was found to be false negative, when compared with the results by commercial kit. The sensitivity of IFA was calculated as high as 96%; the specificity as 99% and the predictive value was also 99%. In the present study, IFA employing the nAb C6 revealed that 23 samples (11.4%) were positive among the 201 calves showing diarrhea. Of 23 IFA positive samples, 4 samples (5%) showed cryptosporidial oocysts more than 105 OPG Therefore. it is concluded that the calves showing cryptosporidial oocysts more than 105 OPG in the feces were highly associated with clinical cryptosporidiosis.
작은와포자충이 송아지에서 설사에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 야외에서 설사를 발현하는 4개월 이하의 송아지 분변 총 201건를 수거하여 DMSO-modified acid fast 염색법 (MAFS), commercial kit(Meridian Diagnostics, Cincinnati, Ohio) 그리고 본 실험실에서 만 든 단세포군항체(C6)를 이용한 간접형광항체법(IFA)으로 작은와포자충의 검출을 시도하였다. 작 은와포자충의 검출은 MAFS에서 29건(14.4%) commercial kit와 IFA에서 각각 23건씩(11.4%) 검출되었다. 작은와포자충 오오시스트의 검출에 사응된 진단기법간의 진단일치율을 비교 하였던 바 msS를 기준으로 하였을 때 IFA는 민감도 69%. 특이성 98%였다. Commercial kit와 IFA진단법에서는 양성 22건, 음성 177건이 서로 일치하였으며. commercial kit를 기준으로 할 때 IFA의 민감도는 96%, 특이성 99% 고리고 진단일치에 대한 기대치는 99%였다. 따라서 본 실험에 사용된 IFA는 commercialkit와 일치율이 높아 진단목적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 한편, IFA에서 작은와포자충이 검출된 23건의 분변에 대해 분변 g당 작은와포자충 오오시스트의 수(OPG)를 측정하였다. 14건이
