Detection and Molecular Analysis of Bovine Enteric Norovirus and Nebovirus in Turkey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bovine Norovirus (BoNeV) which has been confirmed in Asia, America, and Europe, seems to be distributed worldwide, even though only reported from a number of countries. Bovine noroviruses are predominantly detected in diarrhoeic animals rather than neboviruses. The study reveals the importance of noro- and neboviruses in early age diarrhoea of calves.

Material and methods

A total of 127 stool samples were collected from three provinces located in the central region of Turkey. Samples were subjected to nucleic acid isolation and reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Positive samples were sequenced and analysed.

Results

According to PCR, five samples (3.93%) were found to be positive for bovine norovirus while 32 (25.19%) samples were f
