Van Yöresi Sokak Köpeklerinde Listeriozis Seroprevalansı

Çalışma, Listeria türlerinin Van’ yöresindeki klinik olarak sağlıklı sokak köpeklerindeki yaygınlığını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Çalışmada toplam 90 adet klinik olarak sağlıklı sokak köpeğinden kan alınarak, serumlarında standart tüp aglütinasyon yöntemi ile Listeria monocytogenes antikorlarının varlığı araştırıldı. Çalışmaya alman 90 köpek serumunun 36 %40 ’sı seropozitif bulundu. Bunlardan 23 %25,55 ’ü 1/320, 10 %11,1 l ’u 1/640 ve 3 %3,33 ’ü 1/1280 dilüsyonlannda seropozitif bulunurken, 54 serum %60 ise seronegatif olarak tespit edildi. Elde edilen bulgularda Listeriozisin Van yöresindeki köpeklerde yüksek oranda seyrettiği belirlendi. Zoonoz bir enfeksiyon olan listeriozise karşı serolojik çalışmalann diğer hayvan türlerinde de yapılması ve etkin bir mücadele stratejisi geliştirilmesi kanısına varıldı

The seroprevalence of canine listeriosis in Street dogs in Van region

The study was made to investigate prevalence of Listeria spp in clinically healthy Street dogs in Van region. Blood samples from 90 dogs were evaluated by Standard Tube Agglutination Test STAT for Listeria monocytogenes antibody. From 90 sera, 36 sera 40% were positive. Of these, 23 25,55% sera in dilutions of 1/320, 10 11,11% sera in dilutions of 1/640 and 3 3,33% sera in dilutions of 1/1280 were seropositive, but it was found 54 60% sera as seronegative. As a result, listeriosis was found in a high prevalence in dogs in Van region It is though that more detailed serologic studies for listeriosis which is also zoonosis in other animals will be hepfull to make more effective challange strategy
