Abstract

The sample sizes required to detect at least one chicken infectious bronchitis virus(IBV) infection at flock-level were determined using pooled samples for 48 submissions with different samples in each. A total of serum samples of 9,980 layers from Kangwon, Chungpook and Chungnam province were collected and tested hemagglutination inhibition(HI) antibody titers against IBV both individually and with pooling size of 10. Of the 48 submissions, 72.9% were required less than 5 pools to detect at least one infected pool at 95% confidence level, and the corresponding rate was 77.1% at 90% confidence level. Overall, the number of pools was decreased as the percent of positive pools increased. At two different cut-of HI titer${\geq}9\;and{\geq}10$ for individual samples the seroprevalence was 50.1% and 33.4%, respectively while 59.9% were seropositive for pooled samples at HI $titer{\geq}8$. The correlation coefficients between pooled and individual samples at each submission were 0.592(p<0.001) for HI $titer{\geq}9$ and 0.561(p<0.001) for ${\geq}10$, with common correlation coefficient of 0.576. This study indicated that pooled testing for the detection of IBV infection may be an alternative strategy when only the pooled results are of interest and the prevalence has not known exactly.

계군 수준에서 닭 전염성 기관지염(IBV)을 검출하는데 필요한 표본크기를 추정하기 위하여 강원도 충북 및 충남 지역의 총 9,980수의 산란계로부터 회수된 총 48회의 혈청시료를 사용하였다. 의뢰된 모든 혈청에 대해서는 개별 시료와 크기가 10인 합병혈청(pool)으로 구분하여 HI 역가를 측정하였다. 적어도 1개의 감염된 pool을 검출하는 것을 95%신뢰하기 위해서는 총 48회의 의뢰건 중 5개 이하의 pool이 요구되는 비율이 72.9%를 차지하였고 90% 신뢰수준에서는 77.1%로 나타났다. 전체적으로 볼 때 필요한 pool의 개수는 양성 pool의 개수가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 개별시료에서 양성판정을 위한 HI 역가의 기준을 9 이상과 10 이상으로 설정할 때 혈청 유병율은 각각 50.1%와 33.4%로 나타났으며, 합병혈청에 대한 양성 판정기준을 8 이상으로 설정할 경우 59.9%로 분석되었다. 매 의뢰된 시료에서 개별시료와 합병혈청 간의 상관계수는 판정기준 9 이상에서 0.592(p<0.001), 10 이상에서 0.561(p<0.001)로 두 상관계수간 차이가 없었고 공통상관계수는 0.576으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 근거할 때 IBV 감염증을 검출하기 위하여 합병혈청을 사용하는 전략은 조사의 목적이 계군의 감염여부에만 관심을 두는 경우 한가지 대안이 될 것으로 사료된다.
