Canine coronavirus (CCoV) generally causes an infection with high morbidity and low mortality in dogs. In recent years, studies on coronaviruses have gained a momentum due to outbreaks. Mutations can result deadly diseases new hosts (such as SARS-CoV-2) or cause changes organ-tissue affinity, occurred feline infectious peritonitis virus, exacerbating their pathogenesis. different types of CCoV, the pantropic strains characterized by hypervirulent multi-systemic infections are believed be...
In this study, the molecular epidemiology of bovine ephemeral fever in turkey was investigated, on basis a comparison nucleotide sequences virus that caused last outbreak, between early august and late November 2012, with those strains from 1985 2008 outbreaks turkey, as well BeF (BeFV) Far eastern countries, Israel australia.In NJ analysis, viruses were placed same cluster isolates, while 2012-outbreak BeFVs different cluster, east asian strains.
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) causes economic losses related to a reduction in weight gain of affected animals, veterinary treatment costs, death, etc.One the important tract viruses is bovine syncytial virus (BRSV).In this study, it aimed report molecular characterization detected BRSVs.Therefore, nasal samples from three calves herd seen severe disorders were examined for BRSV and other possible viral etiological agents by PCRs amplicons sequenced.In phylogenetic tree, circulating...
This study is a serological and virological examination of the border disease virus (BDV) in sheep at 1–5 years age from private small scale production units less than 20 per unit, Kars District Turkey. For this purpose, blood sera 460 were tested for antibodies against BDV using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Since causes persistent infection, antigen-ELISA was also performed agent. Seropositivity rate detected to be 74.57%. In addition, antigen one sample...
The purpose of this study was to identify the presence Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BoHV-1), Virus-4 (BoHV-4) and Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) in tissue aborted ruminant fetuses using molecular methods. Therefore, internal organ samples (lung, liver spleen, total n=48) were collected from abortions (10 lambs 12 calves) small-scale family operations province Kars, Turkey. BoHV-1 BoHV-4 nucleic acids investigated with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specific for Glycoprotein C (gC) B (gB) gene...
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the association between inflammatory reaction of tumoral microenvironments with interleukin responses in ovine pulmonary adenocarcinomas (OPAs). Material study consisted 26 sheep lung tissue samples being brought Pathology Department for routine diagnosis. Cases were collected years 2009 - 2021; pre-diagnosis based on clinical symptoms, anamnesis and gross lesion lungs. These tissues designated two groups as control (n = 6) OPA 20) groups. Choice...
Background: Canine distemper virus (CDV) is highly contagious disease that affects dogs despite several control measures. This study was aimed at investigating the presence of CDV nucleic acid in different clinical and tissue materials, from naturally infected dogs, by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to molecularly characterize strains according partial Nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequence. Furthermore, samples under went histopathological examination for infection....
This study was aimed at the evaluation of cell proliferation,
Bovine rotaviruses cause loss of calves and great financial losses to breeders. rotaviruses, which are classified in the Reovirales order, Sedoreoviridae family Rotavirus genus, mostly as G P genotypes according VP7 VP4 gene regions. In addition, 10 different species (group A-J) have been identified genetic antigenic properties another major antigen, VP6. Group A most common diarrhea calves, while group B C infections also known. For protection rotavirus screening should be performed on a...
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) infection is an infectious disease transmitted by stinging and blood-sucking flies in Culicoides sp. characterised fever, anorexia, decreased milk yield, loss of condition, abortion birth offspring with arthrogryposis hydranencephaly syndrome. The aim this study was to determine the prevalence presence SBV sheep private enterprises Kars province. For purpose, blood serum samples were taken from 376 (301 females + 75 males) healthy-looking Akkaraman males), which...
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis, an oncogenic deltaretrovirus that has emerged as a potential zoonotic infection. The BLV naturally infects cattle and causes economic losses through slow persistent infection with various clinical symtoms following preleukosis. main objective this study was to determine seroprevalence antibodies in buffaloes border provinces Eastern Anatolia region, Türkiye, using agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) assay...
In this study, serological and molecular research was conducted on the Rotavirus infection in domestic breeds of sheep at 2–3 years age. The included study were raised small scale family units less than 20 per unit, central Kars province its districts (Susuz, Arpaçay, Kagizman Selim) Northeast Anatolia region Turkey. blood fecal samples collected randomly from 450 sheep. They analyzed for presence antibody against virus using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). highest seropositive...
Ocular squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) in cattle has been studied for many years, but no definite etiology established. Squamous (SCCs) may occur different body parts of cattle. Depending on the location, it can cause an economic loss varying degrees.The aim this study was to investigate causes OSCCs eye region Methods: Sixty tumoral masses taken form 60 with proliferation that were collected between years 2012-2022 used. These cases admitted our department routine diagnosis. The tissues...
Bu çalışmada, Iğdır ilinde yetiştirilen Morkaraman ırkı atık yapmış ve Brucella Spp. yönünden negatif koyunlarda, Schmallenberg virus enfeksiyonu varlığının indirekt ELISA yöntemi ile ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. amaçla; ırkı, abort 2-6 yaş arasındaki toplam 180 adet koyundan alınan kan örneği değerlendirilmiştir. Etken, virusuna spesifik antikorların tespit edildiği (IDEXX Ab Test®, IDEXX, Switzerland) Araştırmada incelenen 7 (% 3,88) tanesi şüpheli 8 de 4,4) seropozitif olarak...
This study aimed to assess the role of free radicals in pathogenesis and progression sheeppox with immunohistochemical investigation MDA 8-OhdG expressions.The material comprised 24 lamb carcasses (suspected being infected sheeppox), which were referred Pathology Department for routine diagnosis, 6 healthy lambs used control purposes.Commercial 8-OHdG labeling avidin-biotin-Peroxidase complex technique by manufacturer's instructions.By using PCR correct-sized amplicon was obtained from eight...
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is well recognized as a pathogen that infects the respiratory and reproductive tracts. This study serological investigation of BoHV-1 in breeding bulls at 1–5 years age from small scale family operations three Northeastern Anatolian provinces (Kars, Ardahan Igdir) Turkey. For this purpose, blood was collected 250 tested for antibodies against using virus neutralization technique. Out sera samples tested, 110 (44.00%) were detected positive to antibody titres...
