Abstract

Paratuberculosis
is a contagious, chronic and deadly disease affecting the primary cattle
produced by Mycobacterium avium subsp.
Paratuberculosis. It has a long-term subclinical phase. In this period, the
disease can be transmitted to healthy animals by the patients. It raises
important economical losses in dairy cattle farms. It is also reported that
paratuberculosis is zoonotic and plays a key role in Crohn's disease observed
in humans.The condition of the disease in Turkey has been known for many years.
Purpose of this study was to define the prevalence of subclinical
paratuberculosis in Kırklareli region which is important in terms of milk
cattle breeding. Antibody detection was done by ELISA in serum samples. The
research animal material consisted of 400 multiparous Holstein dairy cattle
with optimal milk yield and live weight, clinically healthy, aged 3-4 years. Within
the scope of the study, a total of 23 farms were randomly sampled in eight
different districts, including the Kırklareli center. As a result of the
present study, the seroprevalence of subclinical paratuberculosis was 1.5%
positive, 1.5% suspected and 97% negative in Kırklareli region in dairy cattle.

Kırklareli Yöresi Süt Sığırlarında Subklinik Paratüberkülozun Seroprevalansı

Abstract

Paratüberküloz, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis’in neden olduğu, başlıca sığırları etkileyen kronik
seyirli, bulaşıcı ve ölümcül bir hastalıktır. Hastalık uzun dönem bir subklinik
evreye sahiptir. Bu evrede etken hasta hayvanlar tarafından sağlıklı hayvanlara
bulaştırılabilir. Hastalık süt sığırı işletmelerinde ciddi ekonomik kayıplara
yol açar. Yanı sıra, paratüberküloz olası zoonotik karakterde bir hastalık
olup, insanlarda gözlenen Crohn’s hastalığının temelinde rol oynayabileceği
bildirilmektedir. Türkiye de bu hastalığın varlığı uzun yıllardır
bilinmektedir. Sunulan çalışmada ülkemiz süt sığırı yetiştiriciliği açısından
önem arz eden Kırklareli yöresinde subklinik paratüberküloz prevalansının
belirlenmesi hedeflendi. Antikor tespiti serum örneklerinde ELISA yöntemiyle
yapıldı. Çalışma materyalini optimal süt verimine ve canlı ağırlığa sahip,
klinik olarak sağlıklı, yaşları 3-4 arasında değişen, 400 multiparoz Holştayn
süt sığırı oluşturdu. Çalışma kapsamında, Kırklareli merkez dahil olmak üzere,
sekiz farklı ilçede toplam 23 işletmeden randomize örnekleme gerçekleştirildi.
Araştırma sonucunda, Kırklareli yöresi süt sığırlarında subklinik
paratüberkülozun seroprevalansı %1.5 pozitif, %1.5 şüpheli ve %97 negatif
olarak tespit edildi.
