An epidemiological study was carried out to determine the herd prevalence of Chlamydophila abortus and Coxiella burnetii antibodies in goats covered by a milk recording program in Poland. The survey took place in 2007 and 48 herds located in different parts of the country were involved. A representative sample from each herd was taken by a simple random sampling allowing to detect seropositivity of a herd on a 95% level of confidence. In total 918 goats were tested for specific antibodies against both germs with the use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In addition, history of reproductive failures was recorded in these herds. The survey revealed that the herd prevalence of C. abortus was 4.2% (2 herds) while no C. burnetii antibodies were found. Abortions were reported to be a problem in 80% of herds while repeating estrus was encountered in 46% of herds. Reproductive failure concerned two seropositive herds as well. Since the germ is present in the population, it has to be taken into consideration in diagnostic process. Nevertheless, the results of the present study indicate that C. abortus infection occurs infrequently in Polish goats. As no antibodies against C. burnetii were detected in the screened sample the risk of goat-to-human transmission of both bacteria in Poland seems to be very low.
An aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Circovac vaccine in two Polish pig herds affected by post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and reproductive failure. The effectiveness of vaccination was assessed indirectly by analysis of production performance of the examined herds. It was found that Circovac is extremely efficient in reducing losses attributed to PMWS and controlling the disease. Analysis of production parameters after vaccination showed significant improvement in the nursery and finishing sectors. Post-weaning mortality dropped nearly five times in herd P and 2.5 times in herd D. Mortality among fatteners decreased by half in both herds. Additionally, significant improvement was observed concerning average daily weight gains of weaners and fatteners. Despite the considerable benefits of vaccination in nursery and finishing pigs, a tendency to increase reproductive parameters was observed. The most striking differences concerned returns to oestrus and abortion rates, which reached more favourable levels even compared to the period before the PMWS episode. This observation suggests that subclinical infections with PCV2 may have negative effects on the reproduction.
