ABSTRACT.- Lázaro N.S. & Hofer E. 1997.Anti-Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 3 agglutinins in swine sera from Rio de Janeiro.[Aglutininas anti-Yersinia enterocolitica 0:3 em soros de suínos do Rio de Janeiro.] Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 17(1):9-11. Depto Epidemiologia e Saúde Pública, Instituto de Veterinária, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Seropédica, RJ 23851-970, Brazil.
The slow serum agglutination test was applied to 119 healthy pigs for the determination of the possible presence of anti-Yersinia enterocolitica 0:3 agglutinins. Of the 63.9% reactive animals (≥ 1 :20), 8.4% presented positive titers (≥1 :80), suggesting the presence of this pathogen among swine and consequently an additional public health problem. |
