The ınvestigation of pestivirus and rift valley fever virus ınfections in aborted ruminant foetuses in the blacksea region in turkey

Bu çalışmada, Karadeniz bölgesinin sahil ve iç kesimlerinden elde edilen atık sığır koyun ve keçi fötüsleri pestiviruslar (bovine viral diare virus-BVDV, border hastalığı-BDV) ve rift vadisi humması virus (RVFV) nükleik asitleri yönünden reverz transkriptaz polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (RT-PZR) ile test edildi. RT-PZR ile 53 atık buzağının 39’unda (%73.6), 37 atık kuzunun 34’ünde (%91.9) ve 2 atık oğlağın tamamında (%100) pestivirus nükleik asidi tespit edildi. Ayrıca aynı atık fötusların tamamında RVFV araştırıldı, fakat hiçbirisinde RVFV nükleik asidi tespit edilemedi.

Karadeniz bölgesinde ruminant atık fötüslerinde pestivirus ve rift vadisi humması virus enfeksiyonlarının araştırılması

In this study, aborted foetuses (cattle, sheep and goat) in either coastal or inland Blacksea region of Turkey were surveyed for the presence of nucleic acids from pestiviruses (bovine viral diarrhoea virus-BVDV, border disease virus-BDV) and rift valley fever virus (RVFV) by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR). Pestivirus nucleic acids were found in 39 of 53 aborted calves (73.6%), in 34 of 37 aborted lambs (91.9%) and in 2 of 2 aborted kids (100%) by RT-PCR. In addition RVFV has been investigated in the same foetuses, however RVFV nucleic acid has not been confirmed in any samples
