Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the seroprevalence
rate of Blue Tongue Virus in sheep flocks in Karaman.
Materials and Methods: A total of 350 sheep blood serum samples were collected from 5 flocks (70 from each flocks) that were randomly selected. Samples were tested against to Blue Tongue Virus antibodies by a commercial competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). Results: Prevalence of antibodies to Blue Tongue Virus in flocks was 32.85%, 28.57%, 25.71%, 37.14%, 41.42%, respectively. Out of 350 serum samples, 116 (33.14%) were positive for Blue Tongue Virus specific antibodies by cELISA. Conclusion: The climate conditions of Turkey might be suitable for the survival of Culicoides vectors of Blue Tongue Virus; hence sheep folks should be controlled constantly in term of BTV. |
