ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of antibodies against pathogenic Yersinia such as Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis in domestic pigs. A total of 650 serum samples from pigs in nine regions of the Chiba Prefecture in Japan, were tested using plasmid-encoded Yersinia outer membrane protein (Yops) antigen ELISA. The cutoff value was calculated using 20 pathogenic Yersinia-free pig serum samples. According to the cutoff value, 246 (37.8%) pigs from seven regions were considered seropositive for pathogenic Yersinia during the study period. These results indicate that pathogenic Yersinia is widespread in pigs in Chiba, which may become the source of human yersiniosis in this region.
