The Seroprevalence of Bovine Herpes Virus type 1 (BHV-1) and Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) in Selected Dairy Cattle Herds in Aydın Province, Turkey

The prevalence of BHV-1 and BLV antibodies was studied in 313 serum samples collected from 5 dairy cattle herds. Serum samples were collected from both apparently healthy animals and animals with respiratory symptoms. The samples were tested for the presence of antibodies against BHV-1 and BLV using virus neutralization and agar gel immunodiffusion test, respectively. The results indicated that the prevalence of BHV-1 and BLV infections was 19.5% and 0.3%, respectively.
