Cross-reactivity in serological tests for brucellosis: a comparison of immune response of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 vs Brucella spp.
Veterinaria Italiana 2018 June 31
According to European Union (EU) regulations, the serological tests for the eradication of bovine and ovine brucellosis are the Rose Bengal Test, Complement Fixation Test, and i-ELISA. These methods, also recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) for international trades, have limitations related to the use of suspensions of smooth Brucellae or LPS extracts. Limitations include false-positive serological reactions to brucellosis, which in turn impedes accurate diagnosis in some herds. False positive reactions should be considered carefully during the final stages of an eradication programme and for surveillance purposes in brucellosis-free areas. In this study, we produced specific sera through the experimental infection of sheep with Y. enterocolitica O:9 and E. coli O157:H7. These are the most important cross-reactive bacteria with Brucella. We then evaluated the antibody response of groups of sheep that had been immunised towards homologous antigens and official antigens for brucellosis, in order to identify a differential diagnostic protocol to distinguish cross-reaction in Brucella-infected animals.
