Abstract

In this article is complied the current knowledge about etiological agent, transmission ways, clinical and pathological findings, pathogenesis, diagnosis and control of Border Disease (BD) infection, characterised by abortus and birth with congenital abnormality, which caused in small ruminant flocks great economicaly losses.

Bu makalede, küçükbaş hayvan sürülerinde büyük ekonomik kayıplara yol açan, abortlar ve kongenital anomalili yavru
doğumu ile karakterize olan Sınır Hastalığı’nın (Border Disease, BD) etiyolojik özellikleri, etkenin bulaşma yolları, meydana
getirdiği klinik-patolojik bulgular, patogenez mekanizması, teşhisi ve mücadele yolları hakkındaki güncel bilgiler sunulmuştur.

Abstract

Bu makalede, küçükbaş hayvan sürülerinde büyük ekonomik kayıplara yol açan, abortlar ve kongenital anomalili yavru doğumu ile karakterize olan Sınır Hastalığı’nın (Border Disease, BD) etiyolojik özellikleri, etkenin bulaşma yolları, meydana getirdiği klinik-patolojik bulgular, patogenez mekanizması, teşhisi ve mücadele yolları hakkındaki güncel bilgiler sunulmuştur. İlk kez 1959 yılında İngiltere ile Wales arasındaki
sınır bölgelerinde bulunan koyunlarda tespit edilen Sınır
Hastalığı (Border Disease - BD) (16), koyun ve keçi
populasyonlarında özellikle reprodüktif sisteme yönelik
bulgularla karakterize, postnatal enfeksiyonda genellikle
subklinik seyreden bir virus enfeksiyonudur. Hastalık,
ingilizcede Hairy Shaker Disease veya Fuzzy Lambs
Syndrome gibi sinonim isimlerle de anılmaktadır.
