The aim of this study was carried out to determine the presence
of Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BoHV-1) in aborted small
ruminant foetus' tissues by using Polymerase Chain Reaction
(PCR) technique. For this purpose, aborted tissue samples
(liver, lung, and spleen, totally n=198) were collected from
small ruminants (43 sheep and 23 goats), each from different
flocks and lived together with BoHV-1 seropositive cattle, in
Central Anatolia region (Konya, Aksaray, and Niğde provinces)
of Turkey. Glycoprotein D (gD) gene based PCR was used
for the detection of BoHV-1. All tissue samples were detected
as negative for BoHV-1 DNA. According to results, it can be
expressed that BoHV-1 is not play a role in abortion cases in
small ruminants in Central Anatolia Region.
