Ayrica, ARV tek basina ya da diger ajanlar ile birlikte, enterik solunum yolu hastaliklari, miyokardit, hepatit ve tavuklarda buyume geriligi/malabsorpsiyon sendromu gibi klinik tablolara da neden olabilir. Bu calismada, Turkiye’nin onemli kanatli yetistiriciligi merkezlerinden olan Balikesir ve Bolu illerindeki broiler ve broiler damizlik yetistiren tavukculuk isletmelerinde ARV infeksiyonunun seroepizootiyolojik durumu arastirildi. Ticari Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) (Avian Reovirus Antibody test Kit ® , BioChek, Gouda, Hollanda) kullanilarak 11 broiler ve 6 broiler damizlik yetistiriciligi isletmesindeki ARV’una karsi asili ve asisiz tavuklardan alinan toplam 920 serum ornegi ARV antikorlari yonunden test edildi. Test sonucunda butun kumeslerde ARV antikorlari bulundu.

For this purpose, 288 serum samples from different age groups of dairy cattle were collected from 4 different dairy cow enterprises and the presence of specific antibodies to PI-3 virus and Bovine adenovirus (BAV) serotypes 1, 2, and 3 in these samples were investigated using microneutralization test. Specific antibodies for PI-3 and BAV Type 1-2-3 were detected at a rate of 38.2%, 75.7%, 39.9% and 62.2%, respectively. Out of all sampled animals, the rates of seropositive animals for one, two, or three serotypes of BAV were 28.1%, 45.1%, and 19.8%, respectively. Based on the test results, no age effect was noted on the presence of these two viral diseases. .

Afyonkarahisar, Konya ve Eskisehir illerindeki 7 suruden toplam 1346 kan ornegi elde edildi. Mikronotralizasyon test sonucuna gore, suru bazinda pestivirus spesifik antikorlarin %35.2 ile %78.8 arasinda degistigi belirlenirken PI-3 icin %17.5 ile %62 araliginda oldugu tespit edildi. Toplamda, 933 (%69.3) ve 584 (%43.3) kecinin sirasiyla pestivirus ve PI-3 icin pozitif oldugu saptandi. PI-3 icin pozitif oldugu belirlenen orneklerin %83.5’inin pestivirus icin de pozitif oldugu belirlenirken pestivirus pozitiflerin sadece %52.3’unun PI-3 icin de pozitif oldugu saptandi

Bu bulgulara bagli olarak, ozellikle sut endustrisinde onemli kayiplara yol acabilmektedir. Bu arastirmanin amaci, Ege bolgesinde daha once de gorulmus olan BEF enfeksiyonunun Aydin ve Mugla Illerinde varligi ve yayginligi konusunda veri elde etmektir. Bunun icin, sut sigirciligi isletmelerinden tesadufi olarak secilmis 225 eriskin inekten kan serum ornekleri alindi (Aydin-125 ve Mugla-100). Alinan serum ornekleri BEF spesifik antikorlar acisindan ticari blocking ELISA kit kullanilarak kontrol edildi. Test edilen orneklerin hic birinde BEF spesifik antikorlar belirlenmedi. Elde edilen seronegatiflik virusun bolgede bir risk potansiyeline sahip olmadigini gostermemektedir. Daha onceki yillarda Ege ve diger bazi bolgelerde yurutulmus olan arastirmalar, klinik bildirimler ile antijen tespit edilmesi, enfeksiyonun zaman zaman ortaya ...

Despite being common world-wide, data on the prevalence of these viruses in western Turkey are very limited in the literature. The objective of this study was to investigate the presence and the prevalence of the FIV and FeLV infections in the house and stray cats in the Aegean region of western Turkey. Effects of the risk factors such as age, gender, and lifestyle on the prevalence of the infections as well as the relationship between the general health status of the animals and infection rates were investigated. Materials, Methods & Results: Blood samples were taken from the house and stray cats brought to the clinics of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Adnan Menderes University or the private veterinary clinics in the provinces of Aydin and Izmir, Turkey, during the period of the study from May 2009 to June 2010. The serum samples were tested ...

Bovine enterovirus‑1 (BEV‑1), Bovine herpesvirus type‑1 (BHV‑1), Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and Parainfluenza‑3 (PI‑3) virus infections are significant causes of health and/or economic concerns in several animal species. These agents have not been investigated in the camel population in Turkey. The objective of this study was to serologically investigate the presence and infection rates of these viruses in camels in Aydin province, Western Turkey. Ninety‑two serum samples were taken from clinically healthy camels that were kept in private farms or brought to the local slaughterhouses. Serum neutralization test was performed to assess the presence and the titers of specific antibodies against BEV‑1, BHV‑1, BVDV, and PI‑3 virus in camel sera. Of the 92 camels tested, 30 (32.61%), 2 (2.17%), 54 (58.7%), and 20 (21.74%) were seropositive f...
