Detection Of Cattle Infected With Theileria Annulata In Fields By Nested Pcr, Ifat And Microscopic Examination Of Blood Smears, Zati̇ Vatansever, Serpi̇l Nalbantoğlu
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to diagnose Theileria annulata infected cattle by microscopy, IFAT and nested PCR and to compare the sensitivity and specificity of these diagnostic methods. A total of 147 blood and sera samples were collected from healthy cattle in four localities of Polatlı district, Ankara, where tropical theileriosis is prevalent. Examination results revealed positivity rates of 31.3%, 44.9% and 61.2% for microscopy, IFAT and nested PCR, respectively. It was shown that nested PCR is more sensitive and specific when compared to microscopical examination and serological findings. It was also shown that nested PCR is more sensitive …

The purpose of this study was to isolate Campylobacter species from the intestines and livers of chicken and to identify Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni by both conventional methods and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Four specific primers derived from the ceuE gene present in the genomes of C. coli and C. jejuni were used for PCR identification. In the examination of 150 intestine and liver samples by culture and PCR, 25 (16.6%) and 32 (21.3%) were identified as C. coli and C. jejuni, respectively. It was concluded that the PCR assay used in this study may successfully be applied for …

Cloning And Expression Of Bacteriophage T4 Lysozyme Gene (Gene E) In Escherichia Coli Via Pcr Amplification, Ali̇ İrfan Güzel, Numan Özcan, Hali̇l Kasap
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of \beta(1-->4) glycosidic bonds between N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM), which are present in peptidoglycan heteropolymers of the prokaryotic cell wall. The purpose of this study was the cloning and expression of the bacteriophage T4 lysozyme gene (gene e) via PCR amplification in Escherichia coli using the pUC18 and pRS416 vectors. PCR amplification is carried out by using the primers having Bam HI recognition sites at their 5' ends. After digesting the vectors and PCR product with Bam HI endonuclease, two recombinant plasmids were constructed by ligation reaction …
Detection And Rflp Analysis Of Canine Parvovirus (Cpv) Dna By Polymerase Chain Reaction (Pcr) In A Dog, Aykut Özkul, İhsan Keleş, Taner Karaoğlu, Mehmet Çabalar, İbrahi̇m Burgu
Detection And Rflp Analysis Of Canine Parvovirus (Cpv) Dna By Polymerase Chain Reaction (Pcr) In A Dog, Aykut Özkul, İhsan Keleş, Taner Karaoğlu, Mehmet Çabalar, İbrahi̇m Burgu

In this study, the detection of canine parvovirus (CPV) in a fecal sample from a dog with enteritis was performed for the first time using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Turkey. The final PCR product was analyzed using the restriction fragment length polymorphysm (RFLP) technique. RFLP analysis using Apa LI and Eco RV restriction endonucleases revealed homology in the nucleotide sequence in at least the VP2 coding region of the virus DNAs detected in the fecal specimen and prepared from attenuated vaccine virus as a positive control.
