2 Bovine anaplasmosis and babesiosis in the Lesser Antilles: risk assessment of an unstable epidemiologic situation E Camus S Montenegro-James 1 CIRAD-EMVT, BP 1232, Pointe-à-Pitre Cedex, France; 2Tulane University, Tropical Medicine, 1501 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA Summary ― A seroepidemiological survey on tick-borne diseases of ruminants was carried out on 11 islands of the Lesser Antilles from Grenada to St Martin. A total of cattle were randomly sampled and sera tested for antibodies to anaplasmosis (Anaplasma marginale) and babesiosis (Babesia bovis and B bigemina) using a dot-elisa test. Except for anaplasmosis, which was virtually absent from Guadeloupe, the seroprevalence of the 3 tick-borne diseases ranged from 18 to 71%. The epidemiologic situation was considered to be unstable in all of the study sites. The risk of clinical outbreaks was high in all the islands except for B bigemina in Montserrat and St Lucia and B bovis in St Lucia. The practical consequences in terms of tick eradication, tick control, and vaccination are discussed.

3 INTRODUCTION Inoculation rate Since the diagnosis of cowdriosis in Guadeloupe in 1980 (Perreau et al, 1980), investigations have focused on cowdriosis, its tick vector Amblyomma variegatum and the organization of an eradication campaign in the Lesser Antilles. The A variegatum eradication program will also have an influence upon the other major livestock tick, Boophilus microplus, and on the transmitted diseases, bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis. The epidemiologic situation for these diseases has been only partially investigated in the Lesser Antilles. A seroepidemiological survey was organized in 1992 to assess the epidemiologic situation of bovine anaplasmosis (Anaplasma marginale) and babesiosis (Babesia bovis and B bigemina) and to draw practical conclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental design The survey was carried out between February and September 1992 in collaboration with the Veterinary Services. of the Lesser Antilles. Eleven islands were surveyed from St Martin to Grenada; 1 % of the cattle population estimated at heads was sampled. The islands are divided into districts, parishes or municipalities; a cluster sampling technique was applied: 1 % of herds in each area was randomly selected and almost all animals within these herds were sampled. However, 6- to 12-month-old calves were more represented in the sample in order to calculate the inoculation rate (see below). Serological test All sera were tested for the presence of antibodies to Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bovis and B bigemina using a dot-elisa (Montenegro- James et al, 1990, 1992). Mahoney and Ross (1972) developed a mathematical model to assess the enzootic stability/instability of babesiosis in Australia: 1= 11 - e! where I is the proportion of animals infected, h the daily probability of infection (inoculation rate) and tthe mean age of calves. The critical age for calves is between 6 and 12 months, when the colostral antibodies have disappeared and before the waning of natural resistance. The inoculation rate was calculated for each island and respective infection with the confidence interval calculated according to the sample size. RESULTS A total of sera were collected from the cattle of the 11 islands, and tested for the presence of antibodies to anaplasmosis and babesiosis. On 8 islands, the age of the sampled animals was obtained: month-old calves were examined. The seroprevalence and inoculation rates are presented in table I. For the 3 islands of St Kitts and Nevis, Barbados and Grenada, the age of the animals was not determined. To calculate the inoculation rates, it was assumed that the mean age was the same as the mean age for the other 8 islands. These inoculation rates with their confidence intervals are pre- 1 for each island and each sented in figure disease, and the risk areas determined according to Mahoney (1977). DISCUSSION Except for anaplasmosis in Guadeloupe (probably absent), the seroprevalence of the 3 tick-borne diseases ranged from 18 to 71% on the different islands in 6-12-
4 month-old calves. Even when the inoculation rates were calculated from the confidence intervals of the seroprevalence rates, the great majority of h values fell within the area of instability with maximum risk. No value reached the typical value of enzootic stability. Few of the diseases were in an unstable situation, but with a low risk of clinical cases: B bigemina in Montserrat and St Lucia; and B bovis in St Lucia. The unstable situation with maximum risk should be manifested by numerous outbreaks of anaplasmosis and babesiosis. In Guadeloupe between 1988 and 1993, 19 cases of B bovis and 1 case of B bigemina were diagnosed on Holstein, Limousin and Charolais but not a single case in Zebu Creole cattle which represents 95% of the cattle population (E Camus, personal communication). In Martinique (Alonso et al, 1992), between 1983 and 1992, 9 cases of B bovis in Holstein and 4 cases of anaplasmosis in Limousin, Holstein and Brahman were reported.
5 In Nevis (Hadrill et al, 1990) not a single case of babesiosis was observed during a 4-yr observation period. In St Lucia (Knowles etal, 1982), an outbreak of anaplasmosis and babesiosis was observed in imported Holstein but not in native cattle. Only rare cases were recorded in imported animals and mainly in dairy cattle. In Guadeloupe, the local creole cattle are naturally resistant to cowdriosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis (Camus, 1989). In Martinique, there is a great majority of Brahman zebus, and the Bos indicus are more resistant to babesiosis. Is there a possibility that the Australian model is not applicable to other countries? The model was used in Brazil and Uruguay (Smith et al, 1984) for babesiosis, and in Australia and Indonesia for anaplasmosis (Wilson and Ronohardjo, 1984). What could be the impact of a 3-yr A variegatum eradication campaign on B microplus and transmitted diseases? Considering the 20-yr eradication campaign of B microplus in Puerto Rico (Crom, 1992) when the foci of A variegatum were rapidly controlled, the eradication campaign will probably reduce the population of B microplus and the seroprevalence rates of babesiosis and anaplasmosis, but it is unlikely to eradicate B microplus. In Martinique (Camus and Barr6, 1994), a strong A variegatum tick control program resulted in a decrease in the seroprevalence rates from 71 to 50% for anaplasmosis, from 83 to 60% for B bovis and 59 to 44% for B bigemina. In the Lesser Antilles, the eradication campaign will reduce the percentage of immune animals and, after the 3-yr acaricide treatment, the non-immune animals will face contacts with a growing number of infected B microplus. This phenomenon will be particularly critical for imported cattle. The epidemiologic situation for bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis is unstable in all the islands of the Lesser Antilles, but clinical cases are only recorded on imported breeds, which represent less than 5% of the cattle population. The native cattle population reacts as if it were naturally resistant. If and when an A variegatum tick eradication campaign initiates, it will be necessary, by the end of the acaricide treatment regimen, to immunize all the imported cattle born during that period, or even, all of the seronegative imported cattle.

However, it is difficult to simulate dynamic interactions between production of a reproductive herd and the disease by this type of model. As an alternative, a dynamic stochastic model simulating the herd production was suggested. A dynamic stochastic model simulating the effect of BVD virus infection in a dairy cattle herd was used to exemplify how this type of model could be applied in research. The simulation example demonstrated that the effect of a BVD virus infection depended on the characteristics of the individual herd. dynamic stochastic simulation / bovine virus diarrhoea I dairy cattle herd * Correspondence and reprints
