Key result
BVDV 1-l accounts for ~45% of bovine virus diarrhoea virus isolates in Turkey.
Cross-Sectional (n=40)
Yes
BVDV 1-l is the predominant genotype among cattle in Turkey, which may inform future eradication programs.
May guide Turkish BVDV surveillance priorities; leaves open whether 1-l–targeted strategies improve eradication outcomes.
Forty pestivirus isolates sampled from cattle in Turkey between 2002 and 2007 were characterized according to 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) sequences and autoprotease (N(pro) ) gene sequences. The sampling of Bovine virus diarrhoea viruses (BVDVs) from 15 farms in five different regions indicated that BVDV 1-l (18/40, 45%) was the predominant genotype in Turkey; the samples also contained the genotypes 1-f (10/40, 25%), 1-b (7/40, 17.5%), 1-d (3/40, 7.5%), and 1-a (2/40, 5%), respectively.

Oğuzoğlu et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Bovine virus diarrhoea virus (n=40). BVDV genotype characterization was evaluated on Genotype distribution. Among 40 bovine virus diarrhoea virus isolates from Turkey, BVDV 1-l was the predominant genotype (45%), followed by 1-f (25%), 1-b (17.5%), 1-d (7.5%), and 1-a (5%).
