【 摘 要 】

References(29)In this study, antibody responses after equine influenza vaccination were investigatedamong 1,098 horses in Korea using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. The equineinfluenza viruses, A/equine/South Africa/4/03 (H3N8) and A/equine/Wildeshausen/1/08(H3N8), were used as antigens in the HI assay. The mean seropositive rates were 91.7%(geometric mean antibody levels (GMT), 56.8) and 93.6% (GMT, 105.2) for A/equine/SouthAfrica/4/03 and A/equine/Wildeshausen/1/08, respectively. Yearlings and two-year-olds intraining exhibited lower positive rates (68.1% (GMT, 14) and 61.7% (GMT, 11.9),respectively, with different antigens) than average. Horses two years old or younger mayrequire more attention in vaccination against equine influenza according to thevaccination regime, because they could be a target of the equine influenza virus.
