| description | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, it was purposed detecting of presence
and seroprevalence of Maedi Visna Virus (MVV) infection of
sheep in private flocks in Konya.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Blood serum samples taken from
sheep (different race, age and sex) in Konya and the surrounding
in the private sheep farms were used. Samples
obtained from flocks analyzed by agar gel immunodiffusion
test (AGID) for determine the presence of antibodies
against MVV.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Thirty nine (2.90%) of 1343 sheep blood serum
were found to be positive for the presence of MVV antibodies.
Seropositivity rates of flocks were determinated
between 0.85-13.33%. When the results were analyzed
by race: Seropositivities for Akkaraman and Morkaraman
as follows: 36 (2.68%) and 3 (0.22%), respectively. Seropositivity
rates by gender were evaluated to be 33 females
(2.45%) and 6 males (0.44%). Thirty of 33 seropositive females
were Akkaraman and 3 were Morkaraman. Six seropositive
males were determined as Akkaraman. Ranges of
ages of 39 seropositive sheep were about between 1-2.5
years old.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> The seroprevalence detected in this study was
lower than that in other countries. |
