چکیده
Border disease is a congenital viral disease of sheep and goats and cause significant economic losses worldwide. It may cause abortion in sheep. However, there isn’t any report of ovine abortion due to this virus from Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of this viral infection in sheep abortions in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. To this end, 100 samples of aborted sheep foetuses were tested with RT-PCR. Nine (9%) sheep were determined to be BDV positive. It was concluded that BDV was involved in abortions in sheep population in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Iran.

Aborted sheep foetuses were collected during the lambing seasons of 2004 to 2006. B. melitensis was isolated from 25 (29.76%) of 84 lungs and stomach contents. Based on the biochemical tests and agglutination test with monospecific A and M antisera, the isolates were determined as B. melitensis biotype 3. The isolation of the B. melitensis from aborted sheep foetuses may show the importance of ...

This research has performed for detection of Aspergillus species (A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger and A. terreus) in aborted bovine, ovine, caprine and camel foetuses by real-time PCR in Iran. After modification of real-time PCR on abomasal contents, from the total number of 970 samples, 141 (14.53%) gave positive results for Aspergillus species. Of them, 62 (17.71%), 33 (14.04%), 27 (12.05%)...

Background: Pestiviruses cause economically important diseases in domestic ruminants worldwide. Border Disease is a congenital viral infection of sheep, caused by a pestivirus, and is first reported in the Border region of Wales and England. The BDV has worldwide distribution in sheep with different prevalences among countries. Vertical transmission is an important route in the epidemiology of ...
