Serologic evaluation of the equine ınfectious anemia in Kars and Ardahan - Turkey

Çalışmanın materyalini Kars ve Ardahan illerinden sağlanan 400 at ve 76 eşek olmak üzere toplam 476 tek tırnaklı oluşturdu. Tüm at ve eşeklerden alınan serum örneklerinde equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) enfeksiyonunun varlığını belirlemek için agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) testi kullanıldı. Çalışma sonucunda at ve eşekler EIAV yönünden negatif bulundu.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

eşek, bağışıklık bilimi teknikleri, seroloji, Kars, Ardahan, Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi, atların enfeksiyöz anemisi, at

Kars ve Ardahan'da equin enfeksiyöz aneminin serolojik araştırılması

The material consisted of 476 equids including 400 horses and 76 donkeys from Kars and Ardahan provinces, North-Eastern of Turkey. Blood was collected from all horses and donkeys and the sera were analyzed for the presence of antibodies to equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) using an agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test. The results revealed that none of the horses and donkeys had antibodies for EIAV.
