| identification of corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolates from sheep and goats by pcr. | the present study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of caseous lymphadenitis (cl) in sheep and goats slaughtered at the local abattoir in elazig province located in the east of turkey, between september and december 2000. a total of 2046 sheep and 2262 goat carcasses were examined during the study period and 118 abscessed lymph nodes, 89 from sheep and 29 from goats, were collected. corynebacterium spp. strains were isolated from 81.4% of the abscesses, giving an overall prevalence of 2 ... | 2002 | 12119139 |
| cattle infestation by hyalomma ticks and prevalence of theileria in hyalomma species in the east of turkey. | a total of 2388 cattle and 442 shelters, from two provinces (elazig and malatya) endemic for tropical theileriosis in the east of turkey, were studied for hyalomma tick populations from july 1993 to july 1995 in elazig and from may 1998 to january 1999 in malatya. four thousand five hundred and eighty one of 7455 hyalomma ticks were collected from cattle, the other ticks (2874) were collected from shelters. all of the ticks collected from shelters were hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum. two thousan ... | 2004 | 15036571 |
| evaluation of relationship between repeat breeding and fasciola hepatica and hydatid cyst infections in cows in elazig district of eastern turkey. | sera samples from 89 dairy cows with repeat breeding and 111 healthy pregnant dairy cows (controls) from elazig province of eastern turkey were tested for presence of fasciola hepatica and hydatid cyst antibodies by use of an indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (indirect-elisa). one hundred and twenty one (60.5%) and 93 (46.5%) cows were found to be positive to f. hepatica and hydatid cyst antibodies, respectively. fifty two of 89 cows (58.4%) with a history of repeat breeding were seropo ... | 2007 | 17141288 |
| seroprevalence of hypodermosis in cattle in some provinces of turkey. | the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of hypodermosis in cattle in the east and southeast of turkey. for this purpose, a total of 634 sera samples of cattle were collected from malatya, elazig and diyarbakir provinces of east and southeast of turkey from november 2005 to february 2006. the sera were analyzed using a hypodermin c antigen by means of indirect elisa. one hundred and forty eight (23.3%) out of 634 cattle were seropositive for hypoderma antibodies. the highest per ... | 2008 | 17610920 |
| [pcr-rflp analysis of the tams1 gene of theileria annulata]. | tams1 is a merozoite surface antigen of theileria annulata. genetical variations of tams1 make studies of vaccine and diagnostic tests like elisa difficult. in this study, tams1 genes of 89 t. annulata isolates obtained from natural infected cattle in elazig and bingöl regions were tested with pcr-rflp. six different restriction profiles (a, b, c, d, e, f) were detected. the number of restriction profiles of 89 samples was found to be as follows: 78(a), 2(b), 2(c), 5(d), 1(e), and 1(f). | 2007 | 17918052 |
| molecular genetic characterization of different isolates of echinococcus granulosus in east and southeast regions of turkey. | we used pcr-rflp analysis of ribosomal its1 fragment using four different restriction enzymes and dna sequencing of mitochondrial co1 gene to investigate the genetic characteristics of isolates of echinococcus granulosus obtained from different hosts (179 sheep, 19 cattle, 7 goat, 1 camel, 1 dog and 1 human) and regions (elazig, malatya, erzurum, van, diyarbakir and sanliurfa) of turkey. the report represents the most comprehensive genotypic investigation of e. granulosus isolates undertaken in ... | 2008 | 18579101 |
| molecular discrimination of sheep and cattle isolates of echinococcus granulosus by sscp and conventional pcr in turkey. | cystic echinococcosis (ce), caused by hydatid cysts, is a widespread and hazardous disease in humans and animals worldwide. the aim of the current study was to investigate the genetic characteristics of sheep and cattle isolates of echinococcus granulosus obtained from eastern turkey using single stranded conformation polymorphism (sscp) analysis and conventional pcr method. a total of 54 isolates collected from erzurum and elazig provinces of east-turkey were examined. the 31 of these were obta ... | 2011 | 21310536 |
