Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the prevalence of Schmallenberg virus (SBV) infection in Morkaraman breed, aborted and negative for Brucella spp. sheep reared in Iğdır province. For this purpose, blood samples taken from a total of 180 aborted Morkaraman breed sheep between 2-6 years of age were analyzed by ELISA method. In the study, 7 (3.88%) of 180 sheep were found to be SBV suspected and 8 (4.4%) were found to be SBV seropositive. In conclusion, it is noteworthy that our study, which is the first data in Iğdır region, is also higher than the average of Turkey. In order to determine the prevalence of SBV infection in our country, epidemiological studies to be carried out with more material are necessary and these studies, together with all risk factors of SBV infection, are of high importance in the spread of the disease, prevention of regional/national endemics, and combating economic damages that may arise from this disease, which is characterized by offspring losses

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Iğdır ilinde yetiştirilen Morkaraman ırkı atık yapmış ve Brucella Spp. yönünden negatif koyunlarda, Schmallenberg virus enfeksiyonu varlığının indirekt ELISA yöntemi ile ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla; Iğdır ilinde yetiştirilen Morkaraman ırkı, abort yapmış 2-6 yaş arasındaki toplam 180 adet koyundan alınan kan örneği değerlendirilmiştir. Etken, Schmallenberg virusuna spesifik antikorların tespit edildiği ELISA (IDEXX Schmallenberg Ab Test®, IDEXX, Switzerland) yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada incelenen 180 koyundan 7 (% 3,88) tanesi şüpheli ve 8 tanesi de (% 4,4) seropozitif olarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, Iğdır ilinde Schmallenberg virusun varlığının bildirildiği ilk çalışmadır.
