ABSTRACT

 

Rezazadeh F, Hosseinzadeh N, Khodabande E, Ezazi A., Seroprevalence of equine infectious anemia virus in Iran, Onl J Vet Res., 20(9):596-601, 2016. Equine  infectious  anemia  is  a  blood  borne  disease  a  worldwide  distribution caused  by Retroviridae. EIA  is  of  considerable importance  to  the  equine  industry  being  one  of  11  notifiable  equine  specific  diseases  listed  by The World  Organization  for  Animal  Health. We report prevalence of equine  infectious  anemia  virus EIAV by ELISA in North-West Iran. 156 (83.9%) male and 30 (16.1%) mare] blood samples were tested and all were negative. ELISA is not a gold standard for EIA and further analyses of greater sample sizes and other tests are needed to validate the finding.

 

Key Words:  Equine infectious anemia, Prevalence, ELISA, Iran.
