Sivas Yöresindeki Koyunlarda Schmallenberg Virus Enfeksiyonunun Seroprevalansının Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Sivas ilinde yetiştirilen Kangal Akkaraman ırkı koyun ve koçlarda Schmallenberg virus enfeksiyonunun seroprevalansının indirekt ELISA yöntemi ile ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla; Sivas ilinde yetiştirilen Kangal Akkaraman ırkı, 1-4 yaş arasındaki toplam 368 adet (250 koyun, 118 koç) hayvandan kan örnekleri alınmıştır. Enfeksiyon, Schmallenberg virus’una spesifik antikorların tespit edildiği ELISA (IDEXX Schmallenberg Ab Test®, IDEXX, Switzerland) yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada, 368 hayvandan yalnızca 1 koyunda (% 0.27) seropozitiflik tespit edilmiştir. Bilgilerimize göre sunulan çalışma, Sivas ilinde yetiştirilen ve ırk tescili yeni yapılmış Kangal Akkaraman ırkı koyunlarda Schmallenberg virusun varlığını bildiren ilk çalışmadır.

Seroprevalence of Schmallenberg Virus Infection in Sheep in Sivas Province

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of Schmallenberg virus infection with indirect ELISA method in Kangal Akkaraman breed in Sivas, Turkey. For this purpose, blood samples of 368 Kangal Akkaraman sheep, consisting of 255 ewes and 118 rams, aged between 1 and 4 years old were collected. Seroprevalence of infection was detected with a commercial indirect ELISA kits (IDEXX Schmallenberg Ab Test^®, IDEXX, Switzerland) that were identified the presence of the Schmallenberg virus antibodies in serum samples. Only one animal was seropositive out of 368 animals (0.27 %). To the best of our knowledge, it’s a novel report for presence of SBV infection in Kangal Akkaraman sheep, a breed whose first official herd book has only been established recently, in Sivas.
