| a serologic survey of viral infections in captive ungulates in turkish zoos. | zoos and zoologic gardens make optimal environments for interspecies transmission of viral infections. there are seven zoos and several small zoologic collections in turkey. this study aimed to determine the current status of viral infections in captive ungulates living in these environments. blood samples were taken from 163 captive animals from two zoos. there were 39 cameroon sheep (ovis ammon f aries), 11 barbary sheep (ammotragus lervia), 57 pygmy goats (capra hircus), 9 angora goats (capra ... | 2011 | 22946369 |
| bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1), bovine leukemia virus (blv) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) infections in algerian dromedary camels (camelus dromaderius). | this study was performed to investigate the presence of bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1), bovine leukemia virus (blv) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) infections in dromedary camels (camelus dromaderius) kept in mixed herds with sheep and goats in algeria, since the prevalence of bhv-1, bvdv, and blv infections among dromedary camels in algeria is unknown. totally, 111 camel sera were collected from two provinces (laghouat and ghardaia) in algeria. the sera were analyzed for bhv-1 specific ant ... | 2017 | 29134541 |
| natural exposure of dromedary camels in sudan to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (bovine herpes virus-1). | the occurrence of bovine herpes virus-1 (bhv-1) in camels was studied. a total of 186 pneumonic camel lungs were collected from slaughter houses at four different areas in sudan during 2000-2006. using sandwich elisa 1.6% of 186 tested lungs were found positive for bhv-1 antigen, all were from tambool at central sudan. direct fluorescent antibody test (fat) was used to confirm the bhv-1 elisa positives, all elisa positives were also positive. pcr was used to detect bhv-1 genome with three positi ... | 2009 | 19433051 |
| a serological investigation of bovine enterovirus-1, bovine herpesvirus-1, bovine viral diarrhea virus, and parainfluenza-3 infections in camelsin western turkey. | camels (camelus dromedarius) are bred in western turkey, particularly in the province of aydin, for touristic, social and cultural purposes. bovine enterovirus‑1 (bev‑1), bovine herpesvirus type‑1 (bhv‑1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv), and parainfluenza‑3 (pi‑3) virus infections are significant causes of health and/or economic concerns in several animal species. these agents have not been investigated in the camel population in turkey. the objective of this study was to serologically inves ... | 2020 | 33635614 |
| first serological evidence of bhv-1 virus in algerian dromedary camels: seroprevalence and associated risk factors. | infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr), caused by bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1), is a major livestock health concern in many countries of the world. the objectives of this cross-sectional study were (i) to estimate the seroprevalence of bhv-1 infection and (ii) to assess risk factors associated with this disease in dromedary camels in four districts of algeria. blood samples were taken from 865 camels from 84 randomly selected herds, and serum was analyzed for presence of antibodies against bhv- ... | 2021 | 33684641 |
| pathological and bacteriological studies on reproductive tract abnormalities of she-camels (camelus dromedarius), emphasizing on zoonotic importance. | infertility caused by reproductive pathologies plays a significant role in animal breeding and could result in massive economic losses to livestock owners. hence, this study was designed to allocate various pathological lesions in the female reproductive tract of she-camels (camelus dromedarius) slaughtered in egypt and isolate the causative agents associated with those pathologies. | 2020 | 33409307 |
