Camels (Camelus dromedarius) are bred in Western Turkey, particularly in the province of Aydin, for touristic, social and cultural purposes. Bovine enterovirus‑1 (BEV‑1), Bovine herpesvirus type‑1 (BHV‑1), Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and Parainfluenza‑3 (PI‑3) virus infections are significant causes of health and/or economic concerns in several animal species. These agents have not been investigated in the camel population in Turkey.

The virus was initially characterized approximately 80 years ago in Kenya and disseminated to many countries in the continental Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. The infection has not been reported in Turkey.

- The study focused on two types of Canine Adenovirus (CAV) causing diseases in dogs: CAV-1 (infectious hepatitis) and CAV-2 (laryngotracheitis).
- Researchers analyzed blood samples from 111 dogs with clinical symptoms and 77 shelter dogs, revealing systemic illness signs like fever and cough.
- Serological tests showed a high prevalence of CAV antibodies in 54.7% of the samples, but direct virus isolation from cell cultures yielded no positive results, highlighting a significant presence of CAV infection.
The aim of the present study was to determine the possible relationship between bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) virus infection and the appearance of cervical mucous discharge (CMD) and the reproductive performance of cows in oestrus. For this purpose, CMD from 97 Holstein cows in oestrus was evaluated visually before artificial insemination (AI). Cows in oestrus were inseminated with frozen semen free from BVD virus (BVDV).

Objective: To investigate the detection of influenza viruses by three different methods.
Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from patients with influenza symptoms and examined for influenza A and B viruses using a rapid antigen test, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and a shell vial cell culture test.
Results: Using the shell vial cell culture test, the rapid antigen test and the multiplex PCR test in 130 patients, 31 (23.
