Van İlinde Equine Viral Arteritis Enfeksiyonunun Serolojik Olarak Araştırılması

Equine viral arteritis (EVA) Arteriviridae ailesinde yer alan equine arteritis virus (EAV)’un neden olduğu tek tırnaklıların bulaşıcı viral bir hastalığıdır. Dünyanın birçok ülkesinde yaygınlığa sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, Van ilinin kırsal alanlarında yük hayvanı olarak kullanılan atlarda EVA enfeksiyonunun serolojik olarak araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla 124 adet yük atından toplanan serum örnekleri enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kullanılarak equine arteritis virusu (EAV) spesifik antikorlarının varlığı için test edildi. Sonuçta, serum örneklerinden 14 adedinin (%11.3) seropozitif olduğu belirlendi. Yük hayvanları ekonomik olarak önemli kabul edilmemektedir, ancak, ihmale gelen salgınların safkan at yetiştiriciliği yapılan işletmeler için önemli ölçüde potansiyel risk taşıdığı göz ardı edilmemelidir.

Serological Investigation of Equine Viral Arteritis Infection in Van Province

Equine viral arteritis (EVA) is a contagious viral disease of equids caused by equine arteritis virus (EAV), a virus classified in the family Arteriviridae. EAV is present in the horse population of many countries world-wide. The objective of this study was to investigate the serological presence of EVA infection in horses using as working animal in rural areas of Van province. For this purpose, blood samples collected from 124 pack horses were tested against specific antibodies to EAV using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In conclusion, 14 serum samples (11.3%) were found to be seropositive. Pack horses are not accepted as an economically significant, however, should not be disregarded that neglected epidemics possess significant risk potential for pure bred horse breeding enterprises.
