| Summary: | <b>Aim: </b>The aim of the study was to investigate the role of Bovine herpesvirus-
1 (BHV-1), Schmallenberg virus (SBV), , Akabane virus
(AKAV) and pestivirus in cattle abortion cases in the Aegean Region
of Turkey between 2015 and 2019.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> In this study, 204 bovine abortions that
occurred in the Aegean region of Turkey between the years 2015
and 2019 were investigated. While BHV-1, SBV, and pestivirus were
examined with real-time PCR, AKAV was examined with nested-PCR.<p>
<b>Results: </b>In our study, 25 (12.3%) of the samples analyzed were
positive for pestiviruses, 1 (0.5%) was positive for Akabane, and 1
(0.5%) was positive for BHV-1. SBV was not detected. According to
these results, the viral agent causing most abortions in the Aegean
region was found to be pestivirus. The most abortion-related material
was sent to the lab in 2018, followed by 2019, 2017, 2016, and
2015.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Based on the results of this study, future evaluations
should consider the cattle abortion agents detected in the Aegean
region, and control and monitoring studies should be established. |
