Abstract
A
total of 294 serum samples were collected from apparently healthy
goats of different age and sex from 13 tehsils of Nagpur
district. All the samples were screened for Contagious Caprine
Pleuro Pneumonia antibodies by slide agglutination test using
colored CCPP antigen. Out of 294 serum samples screened 99 were
found to be positive indicating overall seroprevalence of 33.67
per cent. The higher prevalence was observed in Saoner tehsil
(44.44%) followed by Bhivapur (41.46%), Kalmeshwar (40.00 %) and
Kamptee (38.46%). The higher incidence in these tehsils could be
attributed to the presence of endemic foci in this area. Slide
agglutination test for CCPP detection using colored antigen was
found to be quick, simple, low cost with ease of application in
the field without the need of any specialized training and
equipments.
