An ELISA, using purified flagellin of Borrelia burgdorferi as the solid-phase antigen, was used to measure antibody concentrations to B burgdorferi in dairy cattle in Wisconsin. Serum obtained from 5,060 cows in 160 randomly selected herds in the state were tested. Serum from an additional 2,600 cattle in Barron County, Wis, a county with a high annual incidence of B burgdorferi infections in human beings, was also tested. Only 7% of the cows that were tested, but 66% of the herds that were tested, were seropositive for B burgdorferi. Sixteen percent of the herds had a prevalence of > or = 15% seropositive cows, whereas 50% of the herds had a prevalence of 1 to 14% seropositive cows. Seropositive herds were concentrated in the west-central part of Wisconsin. An association existed between the geographic location of seropositive herds and counties in which B burgdorferi infection of human beings was acquired (P < 0.05) as well as the geographic location of seropositive herds and the geographic distribution of Ixodes scapularis (P < 0.05). Barron County, in which B burgdorferi infection is endemic, had a significantly (P < 0.05) higher percentage of seropositive cows (17%) than did the state of Wisconsin (7%).
