Sağlıklı Görünüşlü ve Solunum Sistemi Problemli Barınak Kedilerinde Feline Herpesvirus Tip 1 (FeHV-1) Enfeksiyonu
Abstract
Bu çalışmada, sokak kedilerinin toplandığı bir barınaktaki
sağlıklı görünüşlü (asemptomatik, n:54) ve solunum sistemi ve/veya konjunktivitis
bulgularına sahip (semptomatik, n:21) kedilerden örneklenen nazal ve
konjunktival sürüntülerde polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) tekniği ile Feline
Herpesvirus tip 1 (FeHV-1) prevalansı araştırıldı. Bu amaçla, 75 adet nazal ve
74 adet konjunktival sürüntü olmak üzere
toplam 149 adet örnek toplandı. Örneklenen kedilerin %25.3’ünde (19/75) FeHV-1
DNA’sı saptandı. Semptomatik kedilerin %47.6’sında (10/21) ve sağlıklı
görünüşlü kedilerin %16.7’sinde (9/54) FeHV-1 enfeksiyonu saptandı. Sağlıklı
görünüşlü ve klinik bulgulu kedilerde iki yaş grubu (>6 ay ve <6 ay yaşlı)
arasındaki enfeksiyon oranları yönünden farklılıklar istatistiksel olarak
değerlendirildiğinde, sağlıklı görünüşlü grupta farklılığın önemli olduğu
belirlendi (P˂0.05). Sonuç olarak, FeHV-1’in
barınak kedilerinde yüksek prevalansa sahip olduğu tespit edildi.

Abstract
: In this study, the prevalence of Feline Herpesvirus
type 1 (FeHV-1) was investigated in nasal and conjunctival swabs sampled from
the shelter cats that were healthy (asymptomatic n:54) but having respiratory
disorder and/or conjunctivitis (symptomatic n:21) housed in an animal shelter
using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Totally, 149 swab samples
including 75 nasal and 74 conjunctival swabs were collected. The FeHV-1 DNA was
positive in 25.3% (19/75) of all cats sampled. The presence of FeHV-1 infection
was determined in 47.6% (10/21) of symptomatic and in 16.7% (9/54) of clinically
healthy cats. Moreover, the differences in FeHV-1 infection rates were
statistically significant between two age groups (>6 months and <6 months) in clinically healthy appeared cats (P<0.05). In conclusion, FeHV-1 was found prevalent in the
shelter cats.
