| a molecular survey of bovine theileria parasites among apparently healthy cattle and with a note on the distribution of ticks in eastern turkey. | a survey of theileria parasites in cattle in eastern turkey was carried out using specific polymerase chain reaction. a total of 252 blood samples were collected from clinically healthy cattle between june and july 2004. of 252 blood samples examined, 41 (16%) were positive for piroplasms by microscopy, whereas 114 (45%) were positive for the presence of at least one species of theileria by pcr. the percentages of positive animals for theileria annulata and benign theileria species (theileria se ... | 2006 | 16510248 |
| epidemiology of toxocara vitulorum in cattle around bursa, turkey. | the prevalence of toxocara vitulorum in cattle around bursa, turkey, was surveyed by faecal examination of eggs. the average infection rate among 11 towns was 5.1% in calves younger than 6-months-old, and 2.2% in all ages of animals. t. vitulorum was found to be prevalent in two different areas of bursa. third stage larvae were found in one milk sample and therefore galactogenic transmission was suggested. experimental incubation of eggs showed that the optimum temperature for development was 20 ... | 1993 | 8509621 |
| serological and haematological diagnosis of enzootic bovine leukosis in cattle in turkey. | a serological study of enzootic bovine leukosis in the bursa region of turkey showed that of 459 cattle (282 holstein, 127 brown-swiss and 50 native boz breed) 42 (9.15 per cent) were seropositive. the seropositive cattle had higher igg1 (p < 0.001) and lower igm (p < 0.01) levels than the seronegative cattle. in addition, the seropositive cattle with persistent lymphocytosis had higher igg1 levels (p < 0.001), total leucocyte counts (p < 0.001) and lymphocyte counts (p < 0.001), than the cattle ... | 1995 | 7709572 |
| crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus in ticks collected from humans, livestock, and picnic sites in the hyperendemic region of turkey. | abstract during june and july 2007, about 3125 adult ticks were collected from humans, animals, and vegetation in a hyperendemic region (sivas and tokat) of turkey. a total of 2193 ticks were pooled in 225 pools and screened for the crimean congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) presence by antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. infection rates were calculated as the maximum likelihood estimation with 95% confidence intervals (ci). the dominant tick species was found to be hyalomma ma ... | 2011 | 21736490 |
| genetic analysis of the m rna segment of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus strains in turkey. | crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) virus is member of the genus nairovirus of the family bunyaviridae. all members of the family bunyaviridae are enveloped viruses containing tripartite, negative polarity, single-stranded rna. cchf is characterized by high case mortality, occurring in asia, africa, the middle east and europe. during recent years, outbreaks have been reported in turkey. however, little information is available on the genetic diversity of cchf virus in turkey. in this study, a ... | 2008 | 17955162 |
| detection of aflatoxin m1 concentrations in uht milk consumed in turkey markets by elisa. | in this study, elisa (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) technique was used for detection of aflatoxin m1 in uht milk sold in bursa-turkey for consumption. a total of 50 samples of commercial uht (ultra high temperature) whole milk were analyzed. aflatoxin m1 residues were detected in all samples (100%) studied in different levels. the mean value was 101.2 +/- 53.8 ng l(-1). although, 40 (80%) were below the limit, the remaining 10 (20%) were well above the limit permitted by european community ... | 2009 | 19634492 |
