| Abstract: | All pestiviruses are important veterinary pathogens causing economic losses in cattle, sheep, and pigs. In this study, blood
samples randomly collected from 465 sheep were analysed for the presence of antibodies to pestiviruses (bovine viral diarrhea
virus, border disease virus) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in the province of Van and their towns. The seroprevalance
were estimated as 75.9% and 60.0–82.5% in the sampled animals and sampled towns, respectively. The results revealed that pestiviruses
are important abort pathogens in the province of Van and their towns. |
