Abstract

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is a worldwide infectious disease of horses and other equids. The large serological survey of EIA was performed in Jeju from 2005 through 2011. Using the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA), a total of 10,040 animals (1,329 Jeju Ponies, 8,324 Jeju Pony-Crossbreds and 387 Thoroughbred horses) was tested at the Equine Hospital of Jeju Race Park or Jeju Stud Farm, Korea Racing Authority. This survey found no serological evidence of EIA presence in Jeju. There had been no horse and pony with antibody against EIA since 1985 and no official report on outbreak the disease. Therefore, surveillance conducted found no evidence of EIA activity in Jeju.

말전염성빈혈(EIA)은 전세계의 마과동물에서 발생하는 전염병이다. 2005년부터 2011년까지 제주에서 사육되는 말을 대상으로 EIA를 조사하였다. 한국마사회 제주경마공원 동물병원에서 제주마 1,329 마리 및 한라마(제주산마) 8,324 마리 그리고 제주목장의 동물병원에서 Thoroughbred 말 387 마리 등 7년간 총 10,040마리를 효소면역측정법을 이용하여 검사하였다. 조사기간 동안 혈액에서 EIA 항체는 검출되지 않았다. 1985년 이후부터 제주에서 EIA 항체가 검출된 적이 없고, 발병 예도 없었다. 그러므로 제주에는 EIA가 없는 것으로 생각된다.
