摘要: Background and Aim: Bluetongue is a vector-borne, emerging disease that poses a severe threat to most domesticated animals. A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of bluetongue virus (BTV) disease in apparently healthy sheep and goats in Kalat, Balochistan. Materials and Methods: A total of 270 serum samples (sheep: 150 and goat: 120) were collected and screened for the detection of anti-BTV antibodies using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The data regarding different contributory risk factors were also collected using a predesigned questionnaire. Results: It revealed that overall, 27.4% (74/270, 95% confidence interval, χ2 = 1.71, p = 0.12) prevalence in both sheep and goat populations. The highest prevalence of 47% (32/68) was recorded in Surab city with the lowest prevalence of 15.49% (11/71) in the Manguchar area. In contrast, in Kalat 28.1% (9/32), Daan area 24% (12/50), and Marap area 22.44% (11/49), seropositivity was recorded. Upon sex bases, antibodies were almost equally found in both male 28.57% (8/28) and female 27.27% (66/242) animal populations. Moreover, all four breeds (Balochi, Khurasani, Lehri, and Rakhshani) were equally and potentially seropositive. The Khurasani breed was the most susceptible to 34.69% (17/49), followed by the Balochi breed, 45/145 (31%) seropositivity. The prevalence of BTV was 16.66% (1/6) in Rakhshani breed and 15.71% (11/70) in Lehri breed., Ticks were found in almost 21% of animals, while 93% of animals were reared on open grazing in rangelands. Conclusion: This study clearly indicates widespread BTV infection in small ruminants in the study area that may pose serious threats to livestock farming. Further extensive studies are recommended to study the prevalence of disease in different agroecological zones of the province. This also warns the high-ups to manage concrete efforts to eradicate and control the disease in the area.
