The overall seropositivity for alpha-herpesvirus in the native goats was found as 19.33% using BoHV-1 glycoprotein B (gB)-blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Additionally, the seroprevalence of BoHV-1 was determined in 5.20% of the goats using virus neutralization test. To distinguish between CpHV-1 and BoHV-1, the combinations of gB/gE-blocking ELISA tests were performed. Of tested samples, 15.24% were CpHV-1 seropositive; whereas, 4.09% were BoHV-1 seropositive. The results indicated that CpHV-1 is in circulation among local goats of northern Turkey. Considering the close relationship between BoHV-1 and CpHV-1, the transmission of BoHV-1 via goats may also be one of the predisposing factors involving in the spread of virus among the surrounding cattle.}, keywords = {Alpha-herpesvirus,‎ Bovine,‎ Caprine,‎ Glycoprotein B,‎ Glycoprotein E}, url = {https://vrf.iranjournals.ir/article_244410.html}, eprint = {https://vrf.iranjournals.ir/article_244410_1ff9eaa195dad69c991c831485be4e26.pdf} }
