Serological survey of bovine enterovirus type 1 in different mammalian species in Turkey.

Abstract: The bovine enterovirus type 1 (BEV-1) infection has a wide range of host spectrum including humans. In this study, seroprevalence of BEV-1 was investigated in eight mammalian species. Blood serum samples were collected from 244 humans, 1520 cattle, 272 horse, 126 dog, 281 sheep, 477 goat, 18 camel (Camelus dromedarius) and 82 gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosa) in different regions of Turkey. Microneutralization tests showed that gazelle and camel did not have any seropositivities, but seropositivities were detected in humans (30.3%), cattle (64.8%), horse (12.8%), dog (3.2%), sheep (32.8%) and goat (27.6%).

This study investigates the prevalence of bovine enterovirus type 1 (BEV-1), a virus that can infect a broad range of hosts, including humans, in various mammalian species across Turkey.

Study Overview

The researchers in this study analyzed the prevalence of BEV-1 in eight mammalian species, these include humans, cattle, horses, dogs, sheep, goats, camels, and gazelles. All these blood serum samples were collected from different regions of Turkey.

Methodology

  • The study utilized the Microneutralization tests on collected blood serum samples to detect the presence of BEV-1 and determine its prevalence.
  • The total number of samples collected comprises 244 humans, 1520 cattle, 272 horses, 126 dogs, 281 sheep, 477 goats, 18 camels, and 82 gazelles.

Findings

  • The microneutralization tests showed no seropositivities in camels and gazelles, meaning BEV-1 was not detected in these species.
  • The prevalence of BEV-1 in humans was found to be 30.3%, indicating that approximately one-third of the tested human population was exposed to the virus.
  • The occurrence in cattle was considerably high, with 64.8% exhibiting seropositivities. This finding aligns with BEV-1 being a bovine enterovirus, primarily infecting cattle.
  • The prevalence in horses was 12.8%, while only 3.2% of dogs showed seropositivities.
  • Sheep and goats also exhibited prevalence rates of 32.8% and 27.6%, respectively.

Implications of the Study

This study provides crucial information about the prevalence of BEV-1 in various mammal species within Turkey. By identifying the host species and prevalence rates, it aids in understanding the virus’s host spectrum and potential cross-species transmission better. Notably, the considerable prevalence in cattle and relatively high rates in humans, sheep, and goats requires attention, indicating the need for further research and possible control measures.
