Investigation of Bovine Herpes Virus Type 1 Infection in Sheep in the Kars Province of Turkey

Abstract

This study is a serological investigation of BHV-1 (Bovine herpes virus type 1) infection in indigenous bred sheep from 8 small scale family operations in the Kars province of Turkey. For this purpose, serum and leukocyte samples were collected from 220 healthy-looking sheep between the ages of 1-5. Serum samples were tested for antibodies against BHV- 1 using the virus neutralization technique (VNT). Out of 220 sera samples tested, 5 (2.27%) were detected as positive against to BHV-1. The present study results reveal that seroprevalence of BHV-1 infection exists at low levels in indigenous bred sheep in the Kars province of Turkey. This study is the first serological study to investigate of BHV-1 infection in sheep in the Kars province of Turkey
