Abstract:
Prevalence of caseous lymphadenitis was studied in goats from six herds in the Czech Republic. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis exhibiting typical properties was isolated from clinically affected animals only. Antibodies to C. pseudotuberculosis were identified by means of agar immunodiffusion and the neutralization test using a toxin--phospholipase D (PLD)--as antigen. No clinical manifestations of caseous lymphadenitis or antibodies to C. pseudotuberculosis were found in four herds. In one herd without any history of clinical caseous lymphadenitis, serological positivity was reported in two out of 148 examinations. In a herd with clinical manifestations of caseous lymphadenitis, antibodies were ascertained to a various degree in subsequent samplings (100%, 87% and 64%, respectively). The importance of serologic examination of caseous lymphadenitis in goat herds is discussed.
