“…There was higher seroprevalence of bluetongue in ovine (69.1%) than in caprine (60.53%) in our studies. Similarly higher seroprevalence of bluetongue in sheep (17.5%) than goat (14.7%) was reported by Mahmoud and Khafagi (2014) in Egypt. In contrast to our findings higher seroprevalence in goat 67.7 % was reported in Iran Ali et al (2014).…”

Bluetongue is an infectious, a non-contagious, arthropod borne viral disease of ruminants and has been reported from most of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Seroprevalence study was carried from July, 2013 to January, 2015 to understand bluetongue virus infection in selected areas of sheep and goats found in and around small ruminant breed improvement center. A total of 1420 sera samples from sheep and goats were collected and screened for the presence of group specific bluetongue virus antibody using competitive Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay(c-ELISA) with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 99%. The overall seroprevalence of bluetongue virus antibody was 69.01% and 60.53% in sheep and goats, respectively. Seroprevalence of bluetongue ranges from 14.5% (Adami Tulu Research Center) to 91.43 % (Benestemay). Antibody to bluetongue virus was detected from both sheep and goats in all study areas. Result of this study showed that small ruminant dwelling in and around the small ruminant breed improvement centers are exposed to bluetongue virus. In the present study areas there were no observation of clinical cases in any species of animals. This indicates that local breed of animals are resistant to clinical disease of bluetongue infection and or there may be circulation of mild virus strain in the population and so further studies are required to determine the bluetongue serotypes that are circulating in sheep and goats.

“…Other ruminant species are also thought to be susceptible to BoHV-1 infection (OIE 2008). In previous studies, antibodies against BoHV-1 in sheep was reported from different countries such as Nigeria (Taylor et al 1977), Canada (Elazhary et al 1984), USA (Goyal et al 1988), India (Singh et al 2001), Egypt (Mahmoud and Ahmed 2009) and Turkey (Yesilbag and Dagalp 2006, Albayrak et al 2007, Ataseven et al 2010. Also, BoHV-1 was isolated from a lamb with respiratory symptoms (Trueblood et al 1978).…”

“…Like previous results, BHV-1 seroprevalence in goats (11.42%) was found to be slightly higher than that in sheep. Futhermore there was an increasing seroprevalence of BHV-1 in sheep compared to previous studies conducted by Albayrak et al (2007) in the same regions.These results depend on a close antigenic relationship between BHV-1 and caprine herpesvirus type -1 (CpHV-1), keeping cattle, goats and sheep together, enviromental conditions, animal movement and an increasing number of the import cattle.These are the main factors that allow for the transmission of BHV-1 from cattle to sheep and goats and vice versa (Mahmoud and Ahmed, 2009). BVDV and BHV-1 still pose a threat for small enterprises due to many factors e.g uncontrolled animal movement, poor nutrition, immunosupression, biosecurity, environmental factors.…”

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and Bovine herpes virus type-1 (BHV-1) are economically important pathogens leading to critical health problems for widespread ruminant populations worldwide. This study was conducted in order to update the seroprevalence of both viruses in non-vaccinated ruminant breeding enterprises in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. Blood samples (n=1.025) were collected from 192 small-scale farms and were screened using a virus neutralization test. Overall percentages of BVDV and BHV-1 were 19.90 % and 13.56 %, respectively. All goat and cattle enterprises were seropositive for BVDV. Single and dual virus infections rates were 24.87 % and 5.26 % respectively. The Black Sea Region of Turkey has a great number of small-sized ruminant farms and the results confirmed that BVDV and BHV-1 viruses were still in circulation and a wide range of large and small ruminants were exposed to both viruses.
