摘要：Chlamydophila abortus is one of the most important causative agents of enzootic
abortion and other chlamydial infections of sheep and goats. The presence of specifi
c serum antibodies to Chlamydophila abortus was studied in sheep and goats breeding
in the Slovak Republic by the complement fi xation test. 22,040 sheep and goats were
examined during 5 years. Specifi c anti-Ch. abortus antibodies were found in 2,360 out of
20,878 sheep sera examined (11.7%), and in 85 out of 1,162 examined goats (7.7%). The
occurrence of antichlamydial antibodies indicates the importance of performing screening
examinations in commercial breeding with the aim of reducing the spread of this
disease between animals, and also interrupting the spread and transmission from animals
to human.
