SEROPREV ALENCE OF BLUETONGUE INFECTION AMONG CATTLE AND SHEEP IN BURSA

Öz

Serum samples taken from 250 sheep and 250 cattle in Bursa were investigated for anti-bluetongue virus antibodies by Agar Gel Precipitation Test (AGPT). Precipitating antibodies to Bluetongue Virus were determined in ı 8 (3 .6%) of tested 500 sera. The infection ratios w ere fo und to be 6% for sheep and 1.2% for cattle. It was determined that the infection ratio increased with age.
