Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a member of the transmissible spongiform encepahlopathies, has been a notifiable disease in Turkey since 1997. In 2002, the BSE status of Turkey was assessed by the EU Scientific Steering Committee as "it is likely but not confirmed". This study presents the results of a targeted surveillance study to assess the presence of BSE in the age risk population of Bursa, Turkey. In the assessment procedure, the immunohistochemical detection of protease-resistant prion protein (PrP-Sc) was aimed at and applied to 420 brain tissues of cattle slaughtered in Bursa at an age of 30-months and older. None of the samples were positive for BSE.
牛海绵状脑病(BSE)是可传播性海绵状脑病的一种,自1997年起在土耳其属于应通报疾病。2002年,欧盟科学指导委员会对土耳其的BSE状况评估为“有可能但未得到证实”。本研究呈现了一项针对性监测研究的结果,以评估土耳其布尔萨市老龄风险牛群中BSE的存在情况。在评估过程中,旨在通过免疫组化检测抗蛋白酶朊病毒蛋白(PrP-Sc),并将其应用于在布尔萨屠宰的420份30月龄及以上牛的脑组织样本。所有样本均未检测出BSE呈阳性。
