Diarrhea is one of the most important health problems in neonatal calves. Salmonellosis, one of the causes of diarrhea in neonatal calves, continues to be one of the major health problems worldwide. Prevalence data on enteropathogens can provide basic information for control and prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in neonatal calves with acute diarrhoea in Şanlıurfa province located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Türkiye. The animal material of the study consisted of 100 neonatal calves with acute diarrhoea aged 1-28 days. The presence of Salmonella spp. was determined by PCR method from rectal fecal samples taken from the calves included in the study. As a result of the study, 5% prevalence of Salmonella spp. was determined. This study showed that there is a potential risk of zoonotic Salmonella spp. infection in neonatal calves with acute diarrhoea in the region and an original contribution was made to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in Türkiye. It was emphasized that treatment for the causative agent and necessary protective measures should be taken in the region. In addition, further studies with multifocal serotyping in human and animal populations living in this region and other regions of Türkiye are needed in terms of the epidemiology of zoonotic Salmonella spp.

Akut İshalli Neonatal Buzağılarda Salmonella spp. Prevalansı: Şanlıurfa İli, Güneydoğu Anadolu, Türkiye'de Bir Araştırma

Öz

İshal, neonatal buzağıların en önemli sağlık problemlerinden birisi olarak görülmektedir. Neonatal buzağılarda ishal nedenlerinden biri olan Salmonellozis, dünya çapında önemli sağlık problemlerinden biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Enteropatojenlere ilişkin prevalans verileri, kontrol ve koruma stratejileri için temel bilgi sağlayabilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Tükiye’nin Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde yer alan Şanlıurfa ili yöresindeki akut ishalli neonatal buzağılarda Salmonella spp.’nin seroprevalansının belirlenmesidir. Araştırmanın hayvan materyalini 100 adet 1-28 günlük yaşta bulunan akut ishalli neonatal buzağı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya dahil edilen buzağılardan alınan rektal dışkı örneklerinden PZR yöntemi ile Salmonella spp. etken varlığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda %5 Salmonella spp. prevalansı tespit edilmiştir. Bu araştırma, bölgede bulunan akut ishalli neonatal buzağılarda potansiyel olarak zoonotik Salmonella spp. enfeksiyonu riskinin varlığı göstermiştir ve Türkiye’nin Salmonella spp. prevalansının belirlenmesine yönelik özgün bir katkı yapılmıştır. Bölgede etkene yönelik tedavinin ve gerekli koruma tedbirlerin alınması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Ayrıca, Salmonella spp.'nin zoonotik epidemiyolojisi açısından bu bölgede ve Türkiye'nin diğer bölgelerinde yaşayan insan ve hayvan popülasyonlarında çok odaklı serotipleme ile daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
