Abstract

Specific antibodies to the equine rhinopneumonitis virus were detected using the complement fixation test in a seroepidemiological survey carried out on 789 equines (400 were bred in the North-East of Tunisia and 389 in the Sahel and the Centre). The results showed that 15 equines (1.9%) were seropositive with various levels of complement fixation antibodies. These results are discussed in relation with those from other authors in Tunisia and neighboring countries.
