ABSTRACT:

Background

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) causes neonatal calf diarrhea (CD), winter dysentery in young cattle (WD), and respiratory system infections in cattle of all ages worldwide. The aim of this study was the detection, isolation, and investigation of the frequency, and molecular characterization of circulating BCoVs in cattle in the Thrace district of Türkiye. It was also aimed to determine genotypes and variants to include in vaccine and vaccination strategies.
