Assessment of the molecular epidemiology of bovine ephemeral fever in Turkey
Özet
In this study, the molecular epidemiology of bovine ephemeral fever in Turkey was investigated, on the basis of a comparison of the nucleotide sequences of the virus that caused the last outbreak, between early August and late November 2012, with those of the strains from the 1985 and 2008 outbreaks in Turkey, as well as BEE virus (MTV) strains from Ear Eastern countries, Israel and Australia. In the NJ analysis, the BEE viruses from the 1985 and 2008 outbreaks in Turkey were placed in the same cluster as the Israel isolates, while the 2012-outbreak BEEVs were placed in a different cluster, with the East Asian strains.
