Akabane Virus Infection In Ruminants

Abstract

Backround/Aim: This review includes that about Akabane virus infection which is a teratogenic agent to the ruminant fetuses. The virus is transmitted by Culicoides biting mosquitos, therefore is called arthropod-borne Arbo viruses. This infection is widely distributed in the countries where tropical climate zone prevails and causes in susceptible pregnant cattle, sheep and goats mainly abortion, stillbirth, and congenital abnormalities. Conclusion: Akabane is an important disease that should not be forgotten due to their direct effects on animal health, reproductive efficiency and economic losses in the livestock industry.

Ruminantlarda Akabane Virus Enfeksiyonu

Abstract

Özbilgi/Amaç: Bu derleme, ruminant fötuslarının teratojenik bir ajanı olan Akabane virusu enfeksiyonu hakkındadır. Virus, Culicoides cinsi sokucu sivrisineklerin ısırması yoluyla bulaşır, bu nedenle arthropod kaynaklı Arbo viruslar olarak adlandırılır. Bu enfeksiyon, tropikal iklim kuşağının hakim olduğu ülkelerde yaygın olarak görülmektedir ve duyarlı gebe sığırlarda, koyunlarda ve keçilerde genellikle abortus, ölü doğum ve doğuştan anormalilere neden olmaktadır. Sonuç: Akabane, hayvan sağlığı, fertilite üzerine olan direkt etkileri ve hayvancılık endüstrisindeki ekonomik kayıplar nedeniyle unutulmaması gereken önemli bir hastalıktır.
