摘要
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this paper was determine the prevalence of antibodies against Francisella tularensis in the representative sample of people from Castilla-Leon (Spain) before epidemic outbreak of end 1997. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: We obtain 4,825 sera (between april-1996 and april-1997) of people from Castilla-Leon. All sera were tested by a microagglutination technique to detect antibodies against Francisella tularensis. The positive sera were tested to determine cross-reaction with Brucella, Yersinia enterocolitica and Proteus in the tube agglutination tests. RESULTS: We detected antibodies against Francisella tularensis in 9 (0,19%) of the 4,825 sera. Only one serum from the 9 seropositive was positive in the tube agglutination against Brucella. None of the 9 sera were positive against the remaining bacterial antigen tested. CONCLUSIONS: In the people of Castilla-Leon before 1997 the prevalence of antibodies against Francisella tularensis was 0, 19%.
