Summary

A serologic survey of American bison in Kansas revealed a significant increase in bluetongue virus antibodies from 1987 to 1989. Other tested livestock pathogens showed minimal or vaccination-related antibody levels.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Wildlife Health
  • Pathogen Surveillance

Background:

  • American bison herds can be susceptible to various infectious diseases.
  • Understanding pathogen prevalence is crucial for wildlife management and conservation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the serologic prevalence of specific infectious agents in a Kansas American bison herd.
  • To monitor changes in antibody titers over time for key livestock pathogens.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a serologic survey on a Kansas American bison herd.
  • Tested for antibodies against Brucella spp., Leptospira spp., Anaplasma spp., bluetongue virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, and bovine viral diarrhea virus.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Bluetongue virus antibody prevalence increased from 38% (1987) to 100% (1989) in bison >= 24 months old.
  • Antibodies against Brucella spp., Leptospira spp., Anaplasma spp., IBRV, and BVDV were negative or at vaccination-associated levels.

Conclusions:

  • Bluetongue virus poses a significant threat to this American bison herd, with near-universal seroprevalence by 1989.
  • Further investigation into bluetongue virus transmission dynamics and impact in bison is warranted.
