Abstract

Abstract. The control of Septicaemia epizootica (SE) through a vaccination program has been implemented, but fatal cases are still frequently reported in Indonesia. This study aims to measure the antibody titers of bovines in the area affected by SE outbreaks and assess the coverage of ongoing vaccinations. We collected 117 serum samples from bovines and buffalos in Gunung Meriah District (54 samples), Singkohor (9 samples), Singkil (9 samples), and Singkil Utara (45 samples) in the Aceh Singkil area, using a simple random sampling method to select the sub-districts. We examined serum samples using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) considered antibody titers against SE seropositive if they were above 77 ELISA Units (EU). The vaccination coverage of sampled cattle was only 22.22%, and the percentage of cattle/buffalo with seropositive SE titers (>77 EU) in the four sub-districts of Aceh Singkil was 29.06%.
