Özet

3001 beef serum samples collected from 25 herds selected from central and southern regions of Turkey for the presence of BHV-1 infections by serum neutralization test. The results revealed that 78.26% of the herds from central Turkey and all of the herds from southern Turkey had seropositive animals at titres of 1:4 and above. The prevalence of BHV1 infection was found as 35.08% in central Turkey and 38.75% in southern Turkey. In conclusion, this was a decrease in prevalence of BHV-1 infection in central and southern Turkey in beef population.
