1665 serum samples obtained from cattle of different age and sex in different RF regions were tested using ELISA.

Antigens to infectious rhinotracheitis were detected in 105 samples out of 556 (18.8%); antigens to viral diarrhea were detected in 73 samples out of 518 (14%); to respiratory syncytial virus in 64 samples out of 69 (92.7%); to bovine clamydiosis in 2 samples out of 3 (66.6%); to bovine mycoplasmosis in 13 samples out of 31 (41.9%); to bovine pasteurellosis in 10 samples out of 10 (100%); to parainfluenza-3 virus in 97 samples out of 132 (73.4%); to rotavirus in 7 samples out of 80 (8,7%) and to bovine coronavirus in 39 samples out of 80 (48.7%).
