Abstract
|
|
|
|
The seroprevalence study was performed on the bovine coronavirus (BCoV) by indirect antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with blood samples of 384 adult cows (3 to 5 years old) originated from Jeonnam, Jeonbuk and Gwangju in different seasons. The Geometric mean titer (GMT) for the BCoV antibody titer was 41,625 in winter, 30,284 in autumn, 23,839 in spring and 23,517 in summer, respectively. The analysis of variance (multivariable ANOVA) results revealed a significant difference (P ＜ 0.0001) in the season, but no significant difference in the age, region, breed and gender. These results suggest that BCoV infections are widespread in adult cattle in Korea.
