genetic identification of fasciola hepatica by its-2 sequence of nuclear ribosomal dna in turkey.	the trematodes of the genus fasciola are the common liver flukes of a range species of animals and have a global geographical distribution. they can generally be distinguished on the basic of their morphology. its-2 ribosomal dna sequences have been used to characterize the liver flukes as a specific marker from different geographical regions which include f. hepatica, f. gigantica, and an intermediate fasciola. to determine the phylogenetic location of f. hepatica of turkey origin based on its- ...	2009	19290539
molecular detection of crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) but not west nile virus (wnv) in hard ticks from provinces in northern turkey.	in this study, the hard ticks collected from a variety of mammalian species (cattle, sheep, goat, buffalo) and a turtle in either coastal or inland black sea region of turkey were surveyed for the presence of rna from crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) and west nile virus (wnv). no wnv genomic rna was detected in any tick sample. however, cchfv rna was found in 29 of 421 tick pools (6.88%). positivity rates for the provinces varied and were as follows: samsun 4.38%; ordu 4.34%; gires ...	2010	20163578
an antigenic investigation of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) in hard ticks from provinces in northern turkey.	crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus threatens human health. exposure of the infected tick is a strong risk factor for human disease. in this study, the hard ticks collected from a variety of mammalian species (cattle, sheep, goat, and buffalo) and a turtle in either coastal or inland black sea region of turkey were surveyed for the presence of antigen from crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv). cchfv antigen was found in 46 of 421 tick pools (10.92%). positivity rates for the provinces ...	2010	20401757
maedi-visna virus infection in karayaka and amasya herik breed sheep from provinces in northern turkey.	maedi-visna is an important virus infection of sheep having prolonged incubation period (slow disease) and reflecting two distinct forms clinically and pathologically. in this study, the presence of mvv was investigated serologically in 58 amasya herik sheep breed and 525 karayaka sheep breed. seropositivity rates in amasya herik sheep breed and karayaka sheep breed were detected as 69.0% and 18.5%, respectively. mvv antibodies were found in 137 of 583 serum samples (23.5%). positivity rates for ...	2011	22065306
