Molecular detection of peste des petits ruminants virus from different organs/tissues of naturally infected animals [Doǧal enfekte hayvanlari{dotless}n farkli{dotless} organ/dokulari{dotless}nda koyun ve keçi vebasi{dotless} virusunun moleküler tespiti]

Ppr virus (pprv) detection rate in different organs/tissues of naturally infected sheep and goats was investigated. in order to achieve this,24 animals,each from different flocks,with ppr suspect were examined for the presence of pprv nucleic acid in different organ/tissues by reverse transcriptase pcr (rt-pcr) and real time rt-pcr. virus neutralizing test (vnt) was used for the determination of pprv specific antibody response. real time rt-pcr and rt-pcr were found positive in all of lung,spleen,liver and lymph node samples tested in each of 16 vnt-positive animals and were negative in all samples from vnt-negative animals (n=8).
