Serological survey of bovine enterovirus type 1 in different mammalian species in Turkey.
- Journal Article
Summary
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.
