    GAZYAGCI, SERKAL/0000-0002-0043-6942WOS: 000287097100004PubMed: 21104124In this study, we investigated the changes occurring in the activities of determining the biochemical and hematological parameters in persistently infected sheep with border disease virus (BDV) and control sheep. While cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, high-density lipoprotein, and glucose parameters were found to be statistically different between control and BDV positive groups (p < 0.01), total protein, alkaline phosphotase, creatine kinase, amylase, glucose, and high-density lipoprotein were found to be statistically different between control and persistently infected group (p < 0.01). Interestingly, all groups were shown only mean corpuscular volume parameter was different (p < 0.01). It was found that cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, amylase, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein parameters were different between PI and infected sheep (p < 0.01). It was speculated that BDV might effect also the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor and determination of the changes in BD and its clinical importance might contribute to the veterinarians and scientists studying in this area

    GAZYAGCI, SERKAL/0000-0002-0043-6942WOS: 000298907600010The aim of this case was to document the occurrence of a mite (Hirstiella sp) on a green iguana and therapy to treat it with a 0.25% fipronil spray. Upon physical examination, a number of red mites, erythema, darkness, and itching were observed on the skin of a green iguana and Hirstiella sp. was diagnosed after microscopic examination. Treatment consisted of a 0.25% fipronil spray once weekly for three weeks. Fipronil was also sprayed into the cage. Mites were eliminated completely from both the body of the green iguana and its cage after the second application and clinical remission was observed

    GAZYAGCI, SERKAL/0000-0002-0043-6942WOS: 000279573300028The aim of this study was to determinate leptospirosis in cattle and to investigate efficacy of a commercial vaccine in treatment of leptospirosis. Upon observing leptosipirosis specific clinical signs including haematuria and mucosal icterus in 2 heifers and mouse fleshes on the surface of the water reserve of the farm, the clinicians tentatively diagnosed the diseased heifers as leptosiprosis. In addition, 9 heifers had general clinical signs including fever, apathy and tachypnea. Blood samples were collected from 41 heifers kept in the farm, including those exhibiting specific and non-specific clinical signs. All clinically diseased heifers were seropositive for leptospirosis confirmed by Microagglutination Test (MAT). The antibody titers were 1/100 or above in 11 out of 41 heifers (26.8%). All 41 heifers were vaccinated with a specific commercial vaccine (Lepto Shield 5 (R)) developed against leptospirosis. At the forth day of vaccination, one of the diseased heifers died of acute leptospirosis while the others clinically recovered 8 days after vaccination and none of the seropositive heifers showed any clinical signs of the disease. No side effects were observed within a month following vaccination. The results of the present study suggest that Lepto Shield 5 (R) is effective not only for protection but also for treatment of leptospirosis in cattle

    GAZYAGCI, SERKAL/0000-0002-0043-6942WOS: 000297671800017The maedi-visna virus (MVV) classified as a lentivirus of the retroviridae family, causes a very common economically important disease in sheep, in many parts of the worlds. Presences of the infection in Turkey have been shown by researches in previous studies. In this study all blood samples were examined by ELISA and PCR to detect MVV antibody and antigen responses, respectively. Hematological findings were monitored and comparing antibody and antigen positive naturally infected (n=5), antibody positive and antigen negative (n=20), antibody and antigen negative (n=20) in sheep was done. When infected sheep were compared with control sheep, Hgb and MPV parameters were shown statistically different (P <= 0.001). These findings suggested that MVV infections should be considered as an important health risk for sheep flock and Hgb and MPV blood parameters may be helpful to diagnosis of MVV

    GAZYAGCI, SERKAL/0000-0002-0043-6942WOS: 000297922900006Background: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in cattle is a very common viral infection that causes economic losses. In acute infection fever, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia may be observed. BVDV, an enveloped, single-stranded positive RNA virus, is a member of the genus pestiviruses within the family of flaviviridae. Vaccination and eradication programs should be applied against BVDV in herds with high prevalence of BVDV that includes removal of persistently infected (PI) animals from the herds. The vaccines used against BVDV are either modified live virus (MLV) or inactivated-virus vaccines. These commercially produced vaccines are being tested before introduced to the market, although afterwards some have been withdrawn regardless of preliminary tests. For example in Germany in 2010, inactive vaccines were withdrawn from the market when 80% of the newborn calves from vaccinated cattle were hemophilia. This phenomenon indicates the side effects of vaccine were needed by independent laboratories. For these reason in this study, in a dairy farm in 23 calves were investigated the effect of vaccination on the blood values. Materials, Methods & Results: In this study it were used 23 healthy heifers aged 6-12-months old, held in a dairy farm in Kirikkale. All of the heifers were vaccinated subcutaneously with one vial of commercial PregSure BVD inactive vaccine as recommended by the manufacturer. Whole blood samples collected before one week and three weeks after one dose commercial inactivated BVDV vaccination, blood values analyzed and compared. Before and after one week from vaccination, the blood values of hematocrit, hemoglobin, leucocytes, red blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrofil/granulocyte and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were decreased and this decrease was statistically significant (P <= 0.05). Before and after three weeks from vaccination mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration increase was significant (P <= 0.05). One and three weeks after vaccination were compared, hematocrit, hemoglobin and red blood cell values were decreased and white blood cell, lymphocyte and neutrofil/granulocyte values increased found significant (P <= 0.05). Divided into three groups against to BVDV antigen and antibodies in the serum of samples could not be found. Discussion: In the present study we compared to effect of inactivated BVDV vaccination on blood values analyzed and compared with kinetics. Before study it was confirmed that all animal did not have BDVD specific antibodies by Porquier ELISA. When Before and after one week from vaccination, the blood values of hematocrit, leucocytes, lymphocyte, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were decreased and this decrease was statistically significant (P <= 0.05). According to these results we found that a single-dose of vaccination causes a partial leucopenia and lymphopenia. To investigate whether vaccinations suppress immune system in calves, number of Treg cell population might be more detail observed after vaccination. As a result, though one dose of inactive BVDV vaccine cause lymphopenia and leucopenia it was unable to achieve high titers of antibodies. However veterinarian and animal owner prefer to perform widespread usage of one dose inactive vaccination in Turkey in order to cheaper than multiple dose vaccination.KUBAP [2010/6]This study is summarized from a part of thesis of the senior author and supported by KUBAP (2010/6)
