    Detection and Sequence Analysis of Equine Gammaherpesviruses from Horses with Respiratory Tract Disease in Turkey
    (Wiley, 2010) Ataseven, V. S.; Bilge-Dagalp, S.; Oguzoglu, T. C.; Karapinar, Z.; Guzel, M.; Tan, M. T.
    P>The equid herpesvirus 2 (EHV-2) and 5 (EHV-5), identified agents of respiratory infections and keratoconjunctivitis cases in some equids, comprise a high degree of antigenic heterogeneity. Prevalence and genetic characterization of EHV-2 and EHV-5 strains from Turkey were investigated in this study. A total of 73 nasal swabs and 54 blood specimens were sampled from horses with respiratory tract diseases characterized by mucopurulent nasal discharge and occasional coughing. Overall, EHV-2- and EHV-5-specific DNA amplicons were obtained from 19.2% (14/73) and 21.9% (16/73) of horses tested by multiplex nested PCR. Sequences of EHV-2 and EHV-5 glycoprotein B (gB) gene were used in a phylogenetic analysis that included six EHV-2 and three EHV-5 isolates, which showed that the Turkish EHV-2 and EHV-5 strains have marked sequence divergence from European strains and from each other. Turkish EHV-2 isolates were divided into two distinct subdivisions, and a few isolates were located on a separate branch. This study provides the first epidemiological and phylogenetical report about EHV-2 and EHV-5 infections in Turkey.

    Evaluation of total oxidative stress and total antioxidant status in cows with natural bovine herpesvirus-1 infection
    (Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2013) Durgut, R.; Ataseven, V. S.; Sagkan-Ozturk, A.; Ozturk, O. H.
    Viruses, including herpes viruses, can alter oxidative balance by either increasing the formation of free radicals or inhibiting synthesis of enzymes involved in oxidative defense within host cells. This study examined the occurrence of oxidative and antioxidative balance in cows naturally infected with bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) under field conditions. Clinical history indicated that cows had been sick and showed mild to severe respiratory signs, characterized by dullness, coughing, and lacrimation, and a high febrile response. All samples obtained from the infected animals during clinical examination were confirmed as positive for bovine herpesvirus type 1 by PCR. Control cows showed no clinical abnormalities and PCR results were negative. Total antioxidative status, total oxidant status, oxidative stress index, and some biochemical parameters were measured. The level of total antioxidative status was significantly lower in infected animals, compared with the healthy control group (P = 0.025). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups for total oxidant status and oxidative stress index levels. Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in the infected groups, with respect to concentrations of alkaline phosphatase, alanine transferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, monocyte, and erythrocyte (P < 0.05). On the other hand, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine kinase concentrations significantly increased in the cows infected with BHV-1. In conclusion, the data obtained hereby explained that animals with infected BHV-1 seemed to have more oxidative stress and low antioxidant defense. Moreover, future research conductance is needed on antioxidative and oxidative balance to understand pathophysiology of BHV-1 infections.

    An investigation of bovine papillomaviruses from ocular squamous cell carcinomas in cattle
    (Shiraz Univ, 2023) Karakurt, E.; Coskun, N.; Aydin, U.; Beytut, E.; Dag, S.; Ataseven, V. S.; Yilmaz, V
    Background: Ocular squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) in cattle has been studied for many years, but no definite etiology has been established. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) may occur in different body parts of cattle. Depending on the location, it can cause an economic loss of varying degrees. Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the causes of OSCCs in the eye region of cattle. Methods: Sixty tumoral masses taken form 60 cattle with proliferation in the eye region that were collected between the years 2012-2022 were used. These cases were admitted to our department for routine diagnosis. The tissues were diagnosed as OSCC using histopathological methods. The presence of bovine papillomavirus (BPV), one of the causative factors, was investigated using immunohistochemical and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Macroscopically masses were nodular or cauliflower-like and fragile and had hemorrhagic surfaces. Considering the keratin pearls, tumoral islands, and squamous differentiation, 20 out of 60 cases were classified as well, 20 as moderately, and 20 as poorly-differentiated OSCCs. 47 of the 60 cases were BPV positive using immunohistochemical methods. However, BPV nucleic acid was detected in only two cases with PCR. Only one of the cases could be sequenced. After phylogenetic analysis, virus strain was identified as BPV-1. Conclusion: Our results indicated that papillomaviruses can contribute to the development of OSCCs, in both precursor lesions and also advanced stage OSCCs. We found that BPV-1 has a possible causative role; however, more studies are needed to investigate the role of other viral agents and their interaction with secondary factors.

    Partial sequence of the ORF1b gene fragment of equine arteritis viruses detected in Turkey and phylogenic analysis
    (Ecole Nationale Veterinaire Toulouse, 2013) Ataseven, V. S.; Oguzoglu, T. C.; Karapinar, Z.; Bilge-Dagalp, S.
    The aim of this study was to document the first genetic information based on partial sequences of the ORF1b gene of nine Turkish (TR) equine arteritis virus (EAV) strains obtained from horses showing signs of respiratory tract disease. Partial sequencing of the PCR products based on ORF1b gene using EAV specific primer pairs followed amplification and purification was performed and was compared to European and American viruses recoded in GenBank to phylogenic analysis. The TR virus strains were found closely related to the strains that originated in North America and exhibited marked sequence heterogeneity from European strains and additionally the TR strains were relatively homogeneous and were placed in a separate cluster. This study documents for the first time the genetic of EAV genotypes in Turkey and will provide valuable insight for future studies on the molecular epidemiology of EAV.
