Bovine parainfluenza 3 virus (BPI3V)is one of the most important respiratory
pathogens and a leading cause of serious respiratory illnesses in cattle, both independent of
and in connection with other pathogens involved in the bovine respiratory disease complex
(BRDC). In this study, we aimed to identify the historical circulation of genotype C bovine
BPI3V (BPI3Vc) in Turkey using the archival serum samples of domestic ruminants that had
been collected from six provinces of northern Anatolia in Turkey between 2009-2010. A total
of 896 sera from cattle (n=442), sheep (n=330), and goats (n=124) were randomly selected
and screened with a virus neutralization test in order to detect antibodies for BPI3Vc. The
overall seropositivity rate was 21.09%, with seropositivity rates for cattle, sheep, and goats
of 21.04%, 20.00%, and 24.19%, respectively. Neutralizing antibody titers for selected samples
ranged between 1/4 to 1/512. This study represents the first serological study conducted
using the first BPI3V isolate of Turkey.
