The authors researched specific antibodies against the arteritis virus by the serum neutralization technique in a sample representative of the horse populations in both areas. The sample concerned 199 horses of which 114 were Thoroughbred Arabian from Ariana area and 85 were Barb from Kasserine area; 72 of them were males and 127 females. Results showed that 51 horses (25.6%) were seropositive. Among them 30 (26.3%) were Arabian horses from Ariana and 21 (24.7%) were Barb horses from Kasserine; the difference was not statistically significant. Twelve males (16.66%) and 39 females (30.7%) were positive; the difference was statistically significant. The results are discussed in relation with those obtained by other authors in Tunisia and neighboring countries.http://revues.cirad.fr/index.php/REMVT/article/view/9838EquidaeCheval Pur-sang ArabeCheval BarbeArtériteViroseEpidémiologieTunisie |
