Equine arteritis virus (EAV) was classified in the Arteriviridae family, and cause to abortus and disorders in alimentary and respiratory system. Equine Infectious Anemia virus (EIAV) is a Lentivirus into Retroviridae family. Both infections have worldwide dissemination. The aim of this study is to investigate these infections as serologically in horses from Ankara, Eskişehir and Afyonkarahisar provinces. A total of 204 (173 female, 31 male) samples were controlled using indirect ELISA. EAV specific antibodies were detected in 22 (10.8%) animals (20 female and 2 male). The ratios of EAV seropositive horses were 4.2% and 12.4% in the Afyonkarahisar and Eskişehir provinces, respectively, while all the sera samples were found to be negative from Ankara province. All of the samples were negative for EIAV as expected. As a result, both virus infections were investigated for the first time in the horse population in Afyonkarahisar and Eskişehir provinces.

Öz

Equine Arteritis Virus (EAV), Arteriviridae ailesi içinde sınıflandırılmakta ve abortus ile sindirim ve solunum sistemi bozukluklarına neden olmaktadır. Equine Enfeksiyöz Anemi Virusu (EIAV) ise bir Lentivirus’dur ve Retroviridae ailesi içinde yer almaktadır. Her iki enfeksiyon da dünya çapında yayılım göstermektedir. Sunulan çalışmanın amacı, bu enfeksiyonların Ankara, Eskişehir ve Afyonkarahisar illerinde bulunan atlarda serolojik olarak araştırılmasıdır. Toplam 204 (173 dişi, 31 erkek) adet örnek indirekt ELISA kullanılarak test edildi. Alınan örneklerin 22 adetinde (%10.8; 20 dişi, 2 erkek) EAV spesifik antikor tespit edildi. Afyonkarahisar ve Eskişehir’den alınan at serumlarında EAV seropozitif örnek oranı sırasıyla %4.2 ve %12.3 olarak belirlenirken, Ankara’dan alınan örneklerin tamamının negatif olduğu tespit edildi. Tüm serum örneklerinin EIAV test sonuçları beklenildiği üzere negatif olarak saptandı. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma ile Afyonkarahisar ve Eskişehir’de bulunan at populasyonunda her iki virus enfeksiyonu ilk kez araştırılmıştır.
