Topic:Serological Surveys

Serological surveys for horses involve the collection and analysis of blood samples to detect the presence of antibodies or antigens related to infectious agents. These surveys are instrumental in understanding the epidemiology of diseases within equine populations, helping to identify exposure to pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Through serological testing, researchers can assess the prevalence of diseases, track their spread, and evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination programs. Common serological tests used in equine studies include the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the virus neutralization test. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methodologies, findings, and implications of serological surveys in equine health management.

Olitsky PK, Harford CG.Young (12 to 15 day old) mice are approximately as susceptible to the virus of equine encephalomyelitis, Eastern or Western strain, when it is given intraperitoneally as are adult mice when the virus is injected intracerebrally. With this susceptibility by the intraperitoneal route as a basis, the injection of immune serum-virus mixtures intraperitoneally was found to result in protection in dilutions which give rise to infection after intracerebral inoculation. The difference of protective power by the two indicated routes was shown not to depend on the amount of inoculum nor on the age of th...
