Özet

A total of 675 goat sera from six different provinces in Hatay region were examined using agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGIDT) and competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) to determine the prevalence of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) infection. Seropositivity with cELISA was 1.03% in two provinces. The results indicate a low prevalence for CAEV infection in Hatay region, in agreement with the previous studies in Turkey.
