CORONAVIRUS INFECTIONS IN ANIMALS AND COVID-19

Abstract

Corona viruses can cause a wide range of illnesses in humans and animals, from subclinical infections to serious infections that result in death. Infection can cause various pathological disorders such as respiratory and digestive systems, hepatitis, reproductive disorders, encephalomyelitis and nephritis in sensitive species. Until now, many types of corona virus have been identified that cause infections in animals. With the SARS outbreak that first occurred in humans in China in 2002 and the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, it has been understood how important corona viruses are also in terms of public health. For this reason, while studies on corona viruses that cause infection in animals are continuing, detailed studies on the connection between coronaviruses in animals and corona viruses infections in humans are also being done. In this study, corona virus infections seen in animals were examined with an approach within the Veterinary Pathology discipline and the importance of COVID-19 emerging in humans recently was emphasized.

HAYVANLARDA CORONAVİRUS ENFEKSİYONLARI VE COVID-19

Abstract

Coronavirusler, insan ve hayvanlarda subklinik, ölümle sonuçlanan ciddi enfeksiyonlara kadar geniş bir yelpazede hastalığa neden olabilmektedirler. Duyarlı canlı türlerinde enfeksiyon başta solunum ve sindirim sistemi olmak üzere hepatit, üreme bozuklukları, ensefalomiyelit, nefrit gibi patolojik bozuklar oluşturabilmektedir. Hayvanlarda enfeksiyonlara neden olan çok sayıda coronavirus tipi belirlenmiştir. İnsanlarda ilk olarak 2002 yılında Çin’de meydana gelen SARS ve son olarak 2019 yılında ortaya çıkan COVID-19 salgını coronaviruslerin halk sağlığı açısından da önemini göstermiştir. Hayvanlarda enfeksiyon oluşturan coronavirusler ile ilgili çalışmalar devam ederken, bir taraftan da hayvanlardaki coronavirusler ile insanlarda ortaya çıkan coronavirus enfeksiyonları arasındaki bağlantı ile ilgili çalışmalar detaylı araştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hayvanlarda görülen coronavirus enfeksiyonları Veteriner Patoloji disiplini içinde bir yaklaşım ile ele alınarak incelenmiş ve insanlarda son dönemde ortaya çıkan COVID-19’un önemi vurgulanmıştır.
