Resumen
La anaplasmosis bovina es una enfermedad infecciosa transmisible
causada por la rickettsia Anaplasma marginale. La profilaxis
se puede lograr mediante la vacunación con eritrocitos infectados
con A. centrale obtenidos a partir de terneros esplenectomizados.
La estandarización de las condiciones para la infección
de bovinos con A. centrale puede conducir a un sistema de producción
eficiente, que es particularmente importante cuando la
vacuna se produce como una formulación trivalente que también
contiene eritrocitos infectados con formas atenuadas de los parásitos
Babesia bovis y B. bigemina. En este estudio, se inocularon
bovinos (n = 26) con diferentes dosis de eritrocitos infectados
(EI) con A. centrale (2, 3, 4 o 5 x 108 EI por animal). El curso
de la infección se analizó con respecto al período prepatente, la
rickettsemia y la disminución del hematocrito, y se evaluaron
las posibles correlaciones entre estos parámetros. El inóculo más
bajo dio como resultado períodos de prepatencia más largos con
respecto a los otros tres grupos. Además, se observó una moderada
correlación negativa entre la duración del período prepatente
y la rickettsemia. La sangre de cada uno de estos terneros se
usó para la producción de vacunas comerciales. Se confirmó la
respuesta humoral contra Anaplasma sp sesenta días post-vacunación
mediante ELISA competitivo en un grupo representativo
de bovinos inoculados con cada lote de vacuna producida. Por
lo expuesto, concluimos que el inmunógeno obtenido mantuvo
las características inmunoprofilácticas en todas las series de vacunas
producidas. Además, esta descripción del modelo de infección
experimental puede serútil para futuras investigaciones.
Bovine anaplasmosis is an infectious transmissible disease caused by the rickettsia Anaplasmamarginale. Prophylaxis can be achieved by vaccination with A. centrale-infected erythrocytes (IE) obtained from splenectomized calves. Standardization of conditions for A. centrale infection of bovines can lead to a more efficient production system, which is particularly important when the vaccine is produced as a trivalent formulation that also contains erythrocytes infected with attenuated forms of Babesiabovis and B. bigemina parasites. In this study, bovines (n=26) were inoculated with different doses of A. centrale- infected erythrocytes (2, 3, 4 or 5 x 108 IE per animal). The course of infection was analyzed with regards to pre-patent period, rickettsemia, and maximal hematocrit decrease, and possible correlations between these parameters were evaluated. The lowest inoculum resulted in significantly lengthier pre-patent periods with respect to the other three groups. Also, a moderate negative correlation was observed between the length of the pre-patent period and rickettsemia. Blood from each of these calves was used to produce commercial vaccines. A humoral response against Anaplasma spat sixty days post vaccination was confirmed by competitive ELISA in a representative group of bovines inoculated with each batch of vaccine produced. Therefore, we conclude that the obtained immunogen maintained itsimmunoprophylactic characteristics in all the series produced. Also, this description of the experimental model could be useful for future investigations.
