Abstract

This study investigated seroprevalence of equine viral arteritis (EVA) in Kars and Ardahan districts. For this purpose, 400 horses from these districts were blood sampled and specific antibodies to equine viral arteritis were investigated in serum by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Of the population sampled, seroprevalence of EVA was 8.75% (35/400). Seroprevalence was 9.5% (19/200) in Kars and 8% (16/200) in Ardahan. Seropositivity according to gender revealed that the proportion of seropositivity was 11.55% (26/225) in male and 5.14% (9/175) in females. In conclusion, this was the first study to report the presence and prevelance of EVA in horses in Kars and Ardahan where horse has important contribution to economic and day to day life of human and preventive measures should be taken to control the infection.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Kars ve Ardahan illerindeki atlarda equine viral arteritis (EVA) enfeksiyonunun seroprevalansı araştırıldı. Bu amaçla adı geçen illerde bulunan atlardan toplam 400 adet kan serumu örneği alındı. Kan serumları equine viral arteritis virüsüne spesifik antikorlar yönünden enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) yönetimi kullanılarak test edildi. Örneklenen popülasyonda EVA virüs enfeksiyonunun seroprevalansı %8.75 (35/400) olarak saptandı. Bu değer Kars’ta %9.5 (19/200) ve Ardahan’da ise %8 (16/200) olarak bulundu. Cinsiyetlere göre seropozitiflik oranları, erkeklerde %11.55 (26/225), dişilerde ise %5.14 (9/175) olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak Kars ve Ardahan illerinde yaşayan insanların hayatında ekonomik ve fiziksel koşullar açısından önemli yeri olan atlarda, EVA enfeksiyonunun varlığı/yaygınlığı ilk kez ortaya konuldu ve bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre bu enfeksiyonun kontrolü amacıyla önlemlerin alınması gerektiği kanaatine varıldı.
