Serological Investigation of Maedi-Visna in Sheep with Chronic Respiratory Disease in Erbil, Iraq
Öz
Maedi-Visna is a chronic and progressive viral
disease most commonly seen in adult sheep. Disease is characterized by
progressive interstitial pneumonia and/or neurological manifestations. The aim
of this study is to serologically reveal the presence of Maedi-Visna in adult
sheep in Erbil province in Iraq, which is an important area of sheep farming and
also to investigate the prevalence of Maedi-Visna disease in sheep with chronic
respiratory problems. Blood samples were obtained from 100 male and female
Awassi sheep between 2 and 8 years old which were suffering from chronic
pneumonia. The samples were obtained from the different
locations in the city of Erbil and its provinces (Hawler, Dashti Hawler, Maxmur
and Xebat) between January and April 2016. Blood samples were analysed
for Maedi-Visna by using ELISA method in laboratory. According to the analysis,
of 100 samples; positive, suspected and negative results were determined as
65%, 3% and 32%, respectively. Seropositivity increased with regard to age and
it was determined higher in ewes. Highest seropositivity was determined in
Hawler. Clinical findings such as emaciation, coughing, dyspnea, mastitis and
paralysis were detected considerably high in the animals. As a result,
Maedi-Visna was observed in animals with chronic respiratory system disease
with high rate in Iraq-Erbil region. As this is the first study performed in
the region related with Maedi-Visna, we believe that this study will provide a
basis for the further studies in the region.
