- Abstract
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) was first reported in cattle, in north-western Germany and east of the Netherlands in November 2011. SBV causes serious economic losses in domesticated ruminant animals. SBV is also seen in Turkey and there are few seroprevalence studies in cattle, sheep and goats. For this purpose, in this study, the prevalence of SBV was investigated in Honamlı goats in Burdur region. The study was carried out in 12 different herds that were breeding Honamlı goats in Burdur province. The animal material consisted of 186 Honamlı goats with 93 aborted and 93 normal healthy births which were aged between 2-5 years. In the findings; SBV specific antibodies were detected in only two (1.1 %) serum samples from the animals included in the study. In two goats (1.1 %), the test result was suspectable for antibody positivity. Consequently, it was determined that SBV infection has a low seroprevalence rate in Honamlı goats in Burdur province.
