“…The serological studies show that, the virus appeared to be circulated in the north and European part of the country (Karaoglu et al, 2007). Reported that, no reported until now of BEFV was obtained from Aegean region located in the west of the country with necessary climate conditions for vectors while a serological study carried out in two provinces in the region found no seropositivity (Erol et al, 2015). The epidemic in 2020 was reported to have started in September in the south and southeast of the country (Karayel-Hacıoglu et al, 2021).…”

Bovine ephemeral fever (BEF), also known as three-day fever and three-day disease, is an arthropod-borne viral disease of the buffalo and domestic cattle. Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is the causative agent of the disease. In this study, we tried to detect the molecular characterization and possible source of BEF virus that caused an epidemic within a limited area synchronously and in two separate localizations in the Aegean region in November, 2020. As a result, BEF virus was declared in Aegean region for the first time, G gene characterization was performed, the virus was classified within the Middle East lineage, and animal movements were believed to have been effective for the virus to reach the area.

“…The number of studies conducted for the investigation of seroprevalence of BEF in Turkey is limited. In a study conducted to investigate the existence and prevalence of the disease in Aegean region, 125 sera sample from Aydın and 100 from Mugla province, 225 sera samples in total, collected randomly from family-run dairy farms were examined with Blocking ELISA, and none was tested positive for the presence of anti-BEFV antibodies (Erol et al, 2015). The seroprevalence rates in respect of provinces were 2.5% (1/40) in Samsun, 27.5% (11/40) in Amasya and 37.5% (15/40) in Sinop, while no BEFV antibody was found in the samples collected from Tokat and Ordu (Albayrak and Ozan, 2010).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of BEF disease in the blood, sera and tissue samples sent to the Viral Diagnosis Laboratory of Adana Veterinary Control Institute with suspected BEF in 2020 from different provinces of Turkey as well as to perform characterization and phylogenetic analysis of cases tested positive with molecular methods. For this purpose, 79 defibrinated blood and 2 tissue samples as well as 168 sera samples obtained from cattle varying in breed, age, and sex, were examined by using Real Time RT-PCR and Blocking ELISA, respectively. Two new degenerate primers amplifying 956 bp of the protein G (AVKEF_AATGTTCCNGTGAATTGTGGAG and AVKER_TGCATAATCYCTTCCTGGTCT) were designed and the phylogenetic analysis of the samples tested positive with RT-PCR was performed. As a result of the examinations conducted, 64.20% (52/81) of the defibrinated blood and tissue samples, and 69.04% (116/168) of the sera samples were diagnosed as positive. Through VERO cell culture, the virus was isolated from the tissue samples of 2 animals in Adana and Sanliurfa provinces, which were positive. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the virus circulated in Turkey during the 2020 pandemic belongs to the Middle East lineage. We concluded that monitoring the disease and identifying the lineages of the virus that have caused pandemic are significant in the selection of the proper vaccine and the disease control.

“…The outbreaks of BEF disease seen in 2008 were recorded in Turkey's South-East region as a relatively local outbreaks (Erganiş et al 2010). However, the disease seen in 2012 was detected in some provinces of the Marmara, Aegean and Western Black Sea regions along with the Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, Eastern Anatolia (Alkan et al 2017;Erol et al 2015).…”

Bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) virus is an arthropod-borne rhabdovirus and causing an acute febrile illness disease in cattle and water buffalo. Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly infectious viral disease of mammals and has a great potential for causing severe economic loss in susceptible cloven-hoofed animals. FMD and BEF vaccines are widely used in countries where both diseases are seen together. This study was carried out to determine the immunological response of cattle simultaneously vaccinated with BEF and FMD vaccines. For this purpose, the cattle were divided into 4 groups in this study as single FMD vaccination group (Group 1; n=10), single BEF vaccination group (Group 2; n=10), BEF+FMD simultaneously vaccinated group (Group 3; n=10) and unvaccinated control group (Group 4; n=10). After the first vaccinations, booster BEF vaccine was applied to the cattle in groups 2 and 3. Although there was no increase in the neutralizing antibody titers against BEF and FMD virus in the blood serums of unvaccinated cattle on the 30th and 60th days of vaccination, There were significant increases in statistically protective neutralizing antibody levels in the vaccinated cattle. As a result, it was demonstrated with this study that BEF and FMD vaccines can be applied simultaneously to combat both diseases in cattle.
