dc.description.abstractLittle information is available on the prevalence of swine enteropathogens in Cuba where diarrheic diseases are responsible for 31% and 37% of the total mortality during the neonatal and postweaning periods. F4(+) and F18(+) enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and F18(+) verotoxigenic E. coli induce diarrhea and edematous disease in pigs, but their distribution has never been thoroughly studied in the Cuban swine population. Therefore, the present study estimated the prevalence of F4- and F18-specific antibodies in sera of 1,044 6-month-old gilts distributed in 34 piggeries spread over the Cuban territory. For the data analysis, which included the optical density of individual samples tested by ELISA, random-effects models and a mixture model in R (package "mixAK"; Komarek, Computational Statistics and Data Analysis 53:3932-3947, 2009) were fitted. Low, moderate, and high levels of F4-specific antibodies were found in 67.6%, 26.8%, and 5.6% of the gilts, while 66.4% and 33.6% of gilts showed low and high levels of F18-specific antibodies. Hereby, we show that F4(+) and F18(+) E. coli are highly prevalent as potential enteropathogens in Cuban piggeries.-
dc.description.sponsorshipThis study was funded by the Interuniversity Cooperation Program between VLIR (Vlaams Interuniversitaire Raad, Belgium) and the UCLV (Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas, Cuba), specifically by the synergetic project 5: Improving the quality of graduate and postgraduate education in research programs in plant and animal sciences. The authors thank the Cuban Company for Pork Production and the Cuban Institute of Veterinary Medicine for their support and help during the sera collection.-
