Seroprevalence of Bartonella vinsonii subsp berkhoffii in Urban and Rural Dogs in Turkey

Özet

The seroprevalence of Barionella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was investigated in stray urban dogs and shepherd and farm guard clogs from rural areas sampled from 10 provinces of Turkey. Sera from 855 dogs were examined for the presence of anti-B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii antibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody test. Overall, 56 (6.6%) of the 855 dogs examined, including 16 (3%) of the 522 stray clogs and 40 (12%) of the 333 rural dogs, were seropositive. This is the first report on prevalence of antibodies to B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in dogs in Turkey.
