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.
