Özet

In this study, serum samples of 13011 cattle from 31 dairy herds located in various regions of Turkey were tested for presence of neutralising antibodies against BHVI using the serum neutralisation (SN) technique. It was found that 97% (30/31) of the herds selected had seropositive animals and the frequencies of seropositivity were between 0.5-79.5% in the surveyed herds. Furthermore, recommendations to the control and eradication programme of the BHV1 infection were presented.
