    Risk assessment and seroprevalence of bovine herpesvirus type 1 infection in dairy herds in the inner Aegean Region of Turkey
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Ince, Omer Baris; Sevik, Murat
    This cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) infection in dairy cattle herds in Afyonkarahisar province in the Aegean Region of Turkey. Blood samples were collected from 602 cattle from 56 unvaccinated dairy herds between May 2018 and June 2019. Animal and herd-level epidemiological information was collected with a questionnaire during blood collection. Specific antibodies against BoHV-1 and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) were detected by using a virus neutralization test and a commercial indirect ELISA kit, respectively. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine any association between categorical variables and BoHV-1 sempositivity. The animal-level and herd-level sero-prevalences of BoHV-1 infection were determined to be 39.53% (95% confidence interval, CI: 35.71-43.50) and 73.21% (95% CI: 60.41-83.04), respectively. Within-herd prevalence was more than 50% in 34.14% of infected herds. Cattle age (odds ratio, OR= 2.34, 95% CI: 1.58-3.44), BVDV infection (OR= 7.74, 95% CI: 5.08-11.76), and the presence of goats in the herd (OR= 2.84, 95% CI: 1.91-4.19) were identified as risk factors for BoHV-1 sempositivity by the multivariable logistic regression model. This is the first study conducted in Turkey using two-layer sampling and logistic regression analyses to determine the herd-level and animal-level seroprevalence and associated risk factors of BoHV-1 infection.

    Risk factors and genetic characterization of bovine respiratory syncytial virus in the inner Aegean Region, Turkey
    (Springer, 2022) Ince, Omer Baris; Sevik, Murat; Ozgur, Emrah Gokay; Sait, Ahmet
    Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is one of the causative viral agents of the bovine respiratory disease complex. This study was conducted to determine the seropositivity and risk factors associated with BRSV infection and to evaluate the phylogenetic relatedness of the BRSVs in the inner Aegean region of Turkey. In this cross-sectional study, serum samples (n = 557) and nasal swabs (n = 21) were collected from cattle herds (n = 43) between February 2018 and March 2019. A commercial indirect-ELISA kit was used for the detection of antibodies in the sera samples. Reverse-transcriptase PCR was used to detect viral RNA in nasal swabs. Nasal samples were also examined for the detection of bovine parainfluenza-3, bovine viral diarrhoea virus, and bovine herpesvirus 1 by molecular detection methods. Genetic characterization of the local BRSV field isolates was conducted by sequencing attachment glycoprotein (G) gene segment. Epidemiological data on potential risk factors were collected from each sampled herd during blood collection. All herds had at least one seropositive animal. After adjustment for assay sensitivity and specificity, the overall true seropositivity was 58.48% (95% CI: 53.32-63.47). BRSV RNA was detected in 2 of the 21 nasal swabs, whereas other infectious agents were not detected in the investigated samples. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the field isolates of BRSV obtained in this study belonged to subgroup III, but they were located on separate branch from previously characterised Turkish subgroup III isolates. BRSV field strains from this study displayed 3 new amino acid substitutions (P89S, D115G, and S165L) in the G protein chains compared to other main reference BRSV isolates, demonstrating that BRSV is still evolving. Generalised estimating equation model showed that there were positive associations between BRSV infection, age (OR = 2.36, p = 0.001), herd size (OR = 10.32, p < 0.001), herd type (OR = 8.97, p < 0.001), a past history of respiratory disease (OR = 4.06, p < 0.001). The results of this study revealed that BRSV infection is common among cattle herds in the inner Aegean region of Turkey. The obtained epidemiological and genetic data on BRSV infection from this study could be beneficial for designing effective biosecurity practices and vaccination strategies.

    Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with bovine viral diarrhoea virus in Turkey
    (Springer, 2023) Ince, Omer Baris; Ayaz, Alparslan
    Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is an infectious agent that is extensively observed worldwide and is among the crucial pathogens of the cattle industry. BVDV infection causes gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases. This study aimed to determine the seropositivity and associated potential risk factors for the risk assessment of BVDV infection in the dairy cattle population in the Aegean Region of Turkey. In this cross-sectional study, 552 serum samples were collected between August 2018 and September 2019 from 48 herds that were not vaccinated against BVDV. Farmers were interviewed using a questionnaire on potential BVDV risk factors. BVDV-specific antibodies in serum samples were detected using a commercial indirect-ELISA kit. The herd-level and animal-level prevalence of BVDV seropositivity was 89.58% (95% CI: 77.83-95.47) and 48.37% (95% CI: 44.23-52.54), respectively. The multivariable logistic regression model analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between BVDV infection and age, common pasture use with small ruminants, the use of natural insemination, and history of respiratory and/or reproduction problems. The results of this study showed that BVDV infection is common in dairy herds in the Aegean Region. The risk assessment would aid the implementation of a voluntary control programme for BVDV in this region.

    Spatiotemporal analysis of foot and mouth disease outbreaks in cattle and small ruminants in Türkiye between 2010 and 2019
    (Springer, 2023) Ince, Omer Baris; Sevik, Murat; Sener, Rumeysa; Turk, Tarik
    Determining the dynamics associated with foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks is important for being able to develop effective strategic plans against the disease. In this direction, spatiotemporal analysis of FMD virus (FMDV) epidemic data that occurred in Turkiye between 2010 and 2019 was carried out. Spatiotemporal analysis was performed by the space-time scan statistic using data from a total of 7,796 FMD outbreaks. Standard deviational ellipse analysis (SDE) was performed to analyse the directional trend of FMD. Five, six, and three significant and high-risk clusters were identified by the space-time cluster analysis for serotypes A, O, and Asia-1, respectively. The SDE analysis indicated that direction of FMD transmission was northeast to southwest. A significant decrease in the number of outbreaks and cases were observed between 2014 and 2019 compared to 2010-2013 (p = 0.010). Most of the serotype A, serotype O, and serotype Asia-1 associated FMD outbreaks were observed during the dry season (April to September). Among FMD cases, cattle and small ruminants accounted for 80.75% (180,932 cases) and 19.25% (43,116 cases), respectively. Among the serotypes detected in the cases, the most frequently detected serotype was serotype O (50.84%), followed by serotypes A (35.67%) and Asia-1 (13.49%). The results obtained in this study may contribute to when and where control programs could be implemented more efficiently for the prevention and control of FMD. Developing risk-defined regional control plans by taking into account the current livestock production including uncontrolled animal movements in border regions, rural livestock, livestock trade between provinces are recommended.
