The seroprevalence of Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was investigated in stray urban dogs and shepherd and farm guard dogs 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 dogs 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.
在从土耳其10个省份采集的城市流浪犬以及农村地区的牧羊犬和农场护卫犬中,对文森巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种的血清阳性率进行了调查。采用间接荧光抗体试验检测了855只犬的血清中抗文森巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种抗体的存在情况。总体而言,在接受检查的855只犬中,有56只(6.6%)血清呈阳性,其中包括522只流浪犬中的16只(3%)和333只农村犬中的40只(12%)。这是关于土耳其犬类中抗文森巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种抗体流行情况的首份报告。
