Prevalência sorológica da artrite-encefalite caprina em rebanhos caprinos do município de Juazeiro, Bahia, Brasil.

Serologic prevalence of caprine arthritis-encephalitis (cae) in the city of Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil. This study aims to verify serologic prevalence of caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) in the city of Juazeiro, Bahia, by carrying out an agar gel immunodiffusion proof test (AGID). Furthermore, it attempts to characterize the region's breeding systems. To this end, 150 samples of goat blood serum were analyzed from 10 farms at different localities in Juazeiro. The health information management was recorded in the questionnaire itself. Extensive farming systems and mixed breeds are predominant in the region and animals are raised mainly for meat. The farms also show low productivity and technification. Several diseases were observed, such as caseous lymphadenitis, keratoconjunctivitis, and diarrhea ectoparasitic infestations. Seropositivity was not observed in caprine arthritis-encephalitis, which increases the need for further epidemiological surveys in the region, especially when importing animals for breeding improvement.
