Felid herpesvirus 1 (FeHV-1) infecting in felidae can cause severe upper respiratory tract disease with clinical symptoms including nasal discharge, sneezing, inappetence, pyrexia and conjunctivitis. In this study, 20 ocular swab samples were obtained from Van cats, in age from 9 days to 1 year, presented signs of FeHV-1 infection. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method was used for the detection of virus. FeHV-1 specific amplicon (737 bp) was detected in 9 (45%) cases. Sequence analysis revealed that there is no diversity between the amplicons detected in samples. In conclusion, more effective preventive precautions should also perform for continuity of Van cat lineage in addition to routinely vaccination.

Felid herpes virus -1 ( FeHV-1) kedilerde genellikle nasal akıntı, hapşırma, iştahsızlık, yüksek ateş ve konjunktivit ile seyreden üst solunum sistemi infeksiyonuna neden olur. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de, FeHV-1 ile uyumlu klinik infeksiyon belirtileri gösteren ve yaşları 9 gün ile 1 yıl arasında değişen 20 adet Van kedisinden alınan göz sıvap örnekleri FeHV-1 varlığı yönünden incelendi. Virus tespiti için Polimerize Zincir Reaksiyonu (PZR) yönteminden yararlanıldı. İncelenen kedilerin 9 (45%)’ undan alınan örneklerde FeHV-1 spesifik amplikon (737 bç) tespit edildi. Elde edilen amplikonların sekans analizinde örnekler arasında fark bulunamadı. Sonuç olarak; Van kedisi neslinin korunması için daha etkili tedbirler alınması ile beraber rutin aşılamaların yapılması kanaatine varıldı.
