Abstract

classical swine fever pathology seroprevalence swine
Classical swine fever (CSF) is an important viral disease of pigs caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV), with major impacts on animal health and the livestock industry. This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of CSFV antibodies in pigs in Bali, assess potential risk factors associated with seropositivity, and describe pathological changes in clinically suspected cases confirmed by rRT-PCR. From September to December 2023, 470 blood samples from pigs with no available vaccination records were collected across Bali and tested using C-ELISA. In addition, 15 pigs showing CSF signs were necropsied for pathological and rRT-PCR evaluation. Six were confirmed CSFV-positive. The overall seroprevalence was 40.8% (192/470, 95% CI: 36.4–45.4). The highest prevalence occurred in Klungkung regency (65.4%, 17/26). Pigs from urban areas were 1.76 times more likely to be seropositive (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.18–2.64) than those from rural areas. By age, pigs under two years were 1.21 times more likely to be seropositive (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 0.65–2.23), while crossbred pigs were 1.27 times more likely (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 0.85–1.88) compared to purebreds; however, these differences were not statistically significant. Only location (urban vs. rural) showed a significant association. Pathological changes were observed in the skin, brain, trachea, lungs, kidney, spleen, and intestines. This study demonstrates a relatively high seroprevalence of CSFV in Bali. The limited vaccination records suggests minimal vaccine coverage, indicating that the high seroprevalence most likely reflects natural infection.
