Abstract

Although there is circumstantial evidence that infectious bronchitis(IB) in the Korean layer industry has contributed to severe economic losses, the seroprevalence against IB virus(IBV) and risk factors associated with seropositivity are not well known. During May to October 2007, 820 blood samples were randomly collected from 41 laying hen flocks(20 birds in each flock) with $\geq$ 3,000 birds of 18 week of age or older in three provinces of Korea. The samples size was determined considering a flock-size range of 3,000-65,000 birds, an expected bird-level seroprevalence of $\geq$ 15%, and a 95% level of confidence. Serum samples were examined using a hemagglutination inhibition test for antibodies to IBV. The overall apparent flock-level seroprevalence was 46.3%(95% CI, 31.1-66.6) with no statistically significant differences among provinces(X=1.205, p>0.05). There were 19 positive flocks with one to eight seropositive birds, and 11 of these had one or two seropositive birds. None of the measured parameters were significantly associated with seropositivity against IBV in a subsequent multivariable logistic regression analysis. A longitudinal risk factor studies considering management and vaccination characteristics possibly associated with the IBV flock prevalence would be beneficial.

국내 산란계에서 전염성기관지염(IB)에 의한 경제적 피해가 심각하지만 IB 바이러스(IBV)에 대한 혈청학적 유병율과 위험요인에 대한 연구는 잘 알려져 있지 않은 실정이다. 2007년 5월부터 10월까지 강원, 충북 및 충남 지역의 3,000수 이상을 사육하는 41개 산란 계군 중 18주령 이상을 대상으로 총 820수(계군 당 20수)에서 혈액시료를 채취하였다. 이러한 표본크기는 평균 계군 크기 3,000-65,000수, 최소 기대 유병율 15%, 95% 신뢰수준을 고려하여 계산하였다. 혈액시료는 혈구응집억제검사를 사용하여 IBV 항체역가를 측정하였다. 41개 계군 중 19개 계군이 양성으로 확인되어 계군 수준의 유병율은 46.3%(95% CI, 31.1-66.6)로 지역별로 유의한 차이는 없었다(X=1.205, P>0.05). 전체적으로 계군 당 1-8수가 감염 역가를 보였으나 양성 계군 중 11개 계군에서는 1-2수만이 감염역가를 보였다. 로지스틱모형을 이용한 위험요인 분석에서 IBV 혈청양성과 연관된 유의한 변수는 없는 것으로 나타나 향후 광범위한 산란 계군을 대상으로 사양관리와 백신접종 등을 고려한 종주연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
