| description | This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of caprine arthritis encephalitis virus
(CAEV) in goats in three northern Egyptian governorates (Kafr El Sheikh, Beheira, and
Alexandria) and assess the associated risk factors. A total of 415 goats were sampled,
with serological analysis conducted using an cELISA test. The overall seroprevalence
of CAEV was found to be 9.6%, with significant variation observed based on sex, age,
breed, production system, and farm management practices. The results indicated higher
seroprevalence in females, older goats, and certain breeds such as the Egyptian Baladi, as
well as in dairy goats. Additionally, poor biosecurity management and contact with other
herds were identified as significant risk factors. This study provides valuable insights
into the epidemiology of CAEV in Egypt and underscores the need for improved control
measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. Further research is recommended to explore
the full extent of CAEV infection in goat populations and to enhance the understanding
of its impact on goat farming in the region. |
