Article Synopsis
- Akabane virus (AKAV) is a significant pathogen in ruminants, causing abortions and congenital defects, yet it has not been thoroughly explored in Nigeria.
- A study in southwest Nigeria found a high seropositivity rate of 70.1% in cattle and a lower rate of 4.3% in sheep, with varying positivity across different age groups.
- The presence of antibodies in unvaccinated animals highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and awareness to manage and control AKAV effectively in the region.
