  • Since a large number of Akabane and bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) infection occurred in the southern part of Korea in 2010, recent information about seroprevalence of Akabane virus (AKAV) and bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) has been required for preventing both diseases. In this study, serological assay against AKAV and BEFV using virus neutralization assay was conducted using 1,743 bovine sera collected from Namwon, Miryang, Yeongju and Uljin which located in Southern part of Korea from March to May in 2012. The overall seropositive rates for AKAV and BEFV were found to be 49.8% and 1.2%, respectively. The regional distribution of seroprevalence for AKAV ranged from 18.1% to 63.7%. Seroprevalences of AKAV were 63.7% in Miryang, 62.3% in Uljin, 50.7% in Namwon, and 18.1% in Yeongju. The seropositive rates for AKAV in southern part of Korea were higher than the annual average at the national level. On the other hand, seropositive rates of BEFV in four regions were from 0.3 to 3.1%. In detail, regional seroprevalences were 3.1% in Miryang, 2.0% in Uljin, and 1.7% in Yeongju, and 0.3% in Namwon. Even only one year after massive outbreaks, overall seropositive rates were very low, similar to the annual average at the nation level. This result indicates that many number of cattle infected with BEFV may be replaced by new born calf or cattle in farm may not be immunized with vaccines. To prevent another epidemic, a national wide warning should be issued and more aggressive control measure must be implied. Recent global warming phenomenon could lead to more vigorous activity of haematophagous vectors and it is possible that arboviral diseases such as AKAV and BEFV are increased. Therefore, continuous sero-monitoring and extensive vaccination combined with control of haematophagous vectors are important to effectively prevent and control diseases caused by AKAV and BEFV.

  • Serum samples of 30 chickens per flock from 6 grand parent stock (GPS) farms and 70 parent stock (PS) farms were collected for seroprevalent study of pullorum disease-fowl typhoid (PD-FT) infection by serum plate agglutination test (SPA). The incidence of PD-FT infection in GPS flocks and PS flocks were 0% and 15.7%, respectively. Especially PS flocks infected with PD-FT showed age dependent patterns that 22.2% of flocks between 20 to 30 weeks of age and 38.9% of flocks between 30 to 40 weeks of age were positive. The incidence of GPS flocks and PS flocks using Salmonella (S.) gallinarum 9R (SG9R) live vaccine were 33.3% and 58.6%, respectively. The sero-positive rate of 11 flocks were 6.7-83.3% by SPA and 2.9-55.6% by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and ELISA showed more lower antibody levels than SPA. Furthermore, specific antibodies produced by SG9R vaccination were detectable by SPA using SG9R antigen without cross-reaction with the PD-FT infection.

  • The incidence of Adenovirus(AV) pneumonia in children is estimated at 8%. Long-term complications reported with type 7 include hyperleucent lung syndrome, bronchiolitis obliterans and may require several months to recover. We reviewed 8 case of AV pnemonia confirmed by AV culture and sero-diagnosis among selected 19 AV pneumonia suspicious cases who were admitted to the Sanggye Paik Hospital of Inje University due to clinical pneumonia from May to July 1996. From 19 children, nasal aspirates or trachial aspirates were collected: viral agents were detected by virus isolation and virus antigen was detected by indirect immunofluorescent staining. Serologic diagnosis for type-specific AV antibody was done by neutralisation test. The results are as follows: 1) Age of the patients ranged from 6 months to 47 months with a mean of $24{\pm}9$ months. 6 were male and 2 were female(M:F= 3:1). 2) Monthly distribution showed 4 cases on June, 2 cases on May and July, respectively. 3) The mean duration of admission was 20.4 days and mean duration of fever was 11.3 days 4) Peripheral leukocyte counts were elevated in 4 cases(50%) and findings of shift to left were showed in 4 cases(50%) and serum aminotransferase activities were elevated in 6 case(75%). 5) Radiologic findings include linear and streaky infiltration(1/8 cases), patchy and lobar consolidation (7/8 cases), pleural effusion(2/8 cases) and hyperleucency was seen in 3/8 cases at time of admission and increased to 6/8 cases on hospital discharge. 6) The AV serotypes were type 7, type 3, and type 1. 7) Oxygen supply was done in 4 cases(50%) and all 8 patients include 2 cases of type 7 treated with artificial ventilator were survived. In conclusion, the serotypes of AV pneumonia outbreaks in early summer of 1996 were type 7, 3, 1 and, as showed severe clinical course, continued follow up surveillance is necessary to the long term pulmonary complications.

  • The primary aim of this study was to investigate biosecurity practices in pig farms and to determine the major risk factors associated with PCV2 infection for a sampled swine population in Korea. To this end, we analyzed data from a cross-sectional study of 296 farrow-to-finish farms, which was conducted between March and September 2014 to explore the prevalence of swine disease at farm level. Face-to-face interviews by on-site visit of trained veterinarians were conducted with the farm owners or managers using a standardized questionnaires with information about basic demographical data and management practices. Farms were classified as negative or positive through the use of infection profiles that combined data on serological testing including PCR antigen test result, antibody titer and sero-conversion pattern at each age category taking into account vaccination status. Data were analyzed using multivariate ordinal logistic regression. Results from this study indicated that biosecurity level of the farms was considered not good given low compliance of the biosecurity programs and facilities in the farm: off-site removal of dead stocks (7%), off-site location of storage facility for incoming feeds (12.6%), off-site pick-up location for finishers (19.3%), restrictions on feed supplier vehicles for farm entrance (19.6%), restriction of finisher trucks entering the farm (22.4%), and restriction on manure disposal trucks entering the farm (26.4%). In the final model (n = 255), allowance of finisher truck driver to the pig unit had increased risk of infection (OR = 2.4, 95% CI 1.22-4.67) whereas farms with a sign forbidding the entrance had decreased risk of infection (OR = 0.19, 95% CI 0.10-0.58). Further comprehensive research with larger sample size is required to better understand the multifactorial characteristic that some predisposing risk factors that were not available in this study. To the best knowledge of the authors, this was the first study to use empirical data to report risk factors associated with PCV2 infection in the Korean pig farms. Results from the current study could be used to decide optimal biosecurity measures to reduce the impact of PCV2 infection to farmers and policy makers.

  • Objective: This study investigated the effects of extruded flaxseed with and without herbs mixture on egg performance, yolk fatty acids (FAs), lipid components, blood biochemistry, serological enzymes, antioxidants, and immune system of Hy-Line W-36 hens for nine weeks. Methods: Two hundred forty laying hens were randomly distributed to eight treatments, resulting in six replicates with five hens. Graded levels of dietary extruded flaxseed (0, 90, 180, and 270 g/kg) with and without herbs mixture (24 g/kg: garlic, ginger, green tea, and turmeric 6 g/kg each) were designed as treatments. Results: The two-way analysis of variance indicated that hens fed herbs mixture had a higher value of egg production, yolk high-density lipoprotein (HDL), superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and white blood cell and lower contents of yolk cholesterol, glucose, and blood low-density lipoprotein than those fed diets without herb mixtures (p<0.05). The Flx27 (270 g/kg flaxseed) (153.5 g/kg n-3 FAs) and Flx27+H (270 g/kg flaxseed plus 24 g/kg herbs mixture) (150.5 g/kg n-3 FAs) groups were the most promising treatments in terms of yolk n-3 FAs content. In-teraction effect (herbs- flaxseed) for blood cholesterol, HDL, malondialdehyde, glutaredoxin, alanine transaminase, (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), haemoglobin and immune parameters was significant (p<0.05). The results showed layers fed herbs mixture (Flx9+H, Flx18+H, and Flx27+H) had a better value of total antibody, immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin G, ALT, AST, and blood HDL as compared with representative flaxseed levels without herbs. Conclusion: High inclusion levels of extruded flaxseed (270 g/kg) without herbs to enrich eggs with n-3 appears to impair the antioxidant system, immunohematological parameters, and sero-logical enzymes. Interestingly, the herbs mixture supplementation corrected those effects. Therefore, feeding layers with flaxseed-rich diets (270 g/kg) and herbs mixture can be a promising strategy to enrich eggs with n-3 FAs.

  • 본 연구는 국내에 서식하고 있는 야생 조류에서의 뉴캣슬 병바이러스(NDV) 감염 분포율을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 2011년 2월에서 11월에 걸쳐 포획한 8개 목 42종의 야생 조류 1,024수를 대상으로 NDV에 대한 혈청 검사를 혈구 응집 억제 반응법으로 실시하였다. 그 결과, 조사 대상 야생조류 중 12.6%(129/1,024)에서NDV 항체가 검출되었다. NDV 항체가 검출된 야생 조류는 기러기목의 6종(원앙, 청둥오리, 흰뺨검둥오리, 고방오리, 쇠기러기, 쇠오리)과 도요 목의 괭이갈매기였다. 이 중 원앙(27.8%, 32/115), 청둥오리(20.8%, 57/274), 흰뺨검둥오리(11.9%, 36/303)는 10% 이상 높은 항체양성률을 나타내었으며, 고방오리(2.9%, 1/34), 괭이갈매기(2.9%, 1/34), 쇠기러기(1.8%, 1/56), 쇠오리(1.4%, 1/69)는 3% 미만의 낮은 NDV 항체 양성률을 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 6개목 35종의 야생 조류에서는 NDV 항체가 검출되지 않았다. 항체 양성률이 높은 원앙, 청둥오리, 흰뺨검둥오리를 대상으로 시기별 조사한 결과, 원앙의 경우 11월 25%(24/96), 2월 42%(8/19)의 항체 양성률을, 청둥오리의 경우 10월 33%(1/3), 11월 25%(26/104), 2월 21.1%(19/90), 3월 14.3%(11/77)의 항체 양성률을, 흰뺨검둥오리의 경우 10월 4.5%(2/44), 11월 12.2%(12/98), 2월 16.4%(9/55), 3월 12.3%(13/106)의 양성률을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 국내에서 서식하는 원앙, 청둥오리, 흰뺨검둥오리 등 야생 오리류가 NDV의 주된 자연 숙주이며, NDV 감염은 10월과 11월 사이에 감염이 급증하기 시작하여 동절기 동안 순환 감염이 일어나는 계절적 특성을 보이는 있음을 나타낸다.
