Abstract

Aim: This study is a serological and virological examination of the West Nile Virus (WNV) in free-ranging brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Sarikamis district of Kars province of Turkey. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, blood samples from 11 brown bears were tested for antibodies against WNV using a commercial competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique was used to determine the presence of West Nile Virus nucleic acid. Results: Seropositivity rate was detected to be zero % and West Nile virus nucleic acid was not found in samples. Conclusions: The significance of WNV infection in brown bears and other free-ranging mammals in the Turkey is unknown at this time and will require further investigation. This is the first report of WNV infection in brown bears in Turkey

Özet

.Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'de Sarıkamış/Kars yöresindeki doğal parkta, serbest dolaşımda bulunan boz ayılarda Batı Nil virüsünün (BNV) varlığı/oranı serolojik ve virolojik olarak araştırıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla 11 adet boz ayıdan alınan kan örneklerinde BNV spesifik antikor varlığı commercial competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) yöntemi ile tarandı. Toplanan kan örneklerinden elde lökosit örneklerinde BNV nükleik asidinin belirlenmesi amacıyla da Reverse Transkripsiyon-Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu (RTPZR) tekniği kullanıldı.Bulgular: Örneklerin hiçbirinde BNV nükleik asidi ve BNV spesifik antikoru tespit edilmedi.Öneri: Türkiye'de serbest dolaşımdaki vahşi memeli hayvanlar ve boz ayılarda varlığı/oranı bilinmeyen BNV enfeksiyonunun ileriki dönemlerde daha ayrıntılı araştırılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Bu araştırma Türkiye'de serbest dolaşımdaki boz ayılarda BNV enfeksiyonu ile ilgili yapılan ilk çalışmadır.
