Sero-surveillance of rinderpest in Niger, problems of sample collection and results of a serological survey
Description
In 1989, 2,815 cattle sera were collected in a national survey based on a sampling protocol derived from the Central Veterinary Laboratories (LABOCEL). These sera were subsequently examined for antibodies to rinderpest virus using an ELISA technique. From the results it was found that overall 58% of animals were sero-positive. The results were also examined on a region to region basis and by various age groupings to give an indication of the success or otherwise of the vaccination programme and identify areas where more effort is required.
