2026-06-25 Experimental Infection Pathogenicity Experiment Louping ill virus caused fever, clinical signs, high viral loads, and brain tropism in experimentally infected sheep, whereas tick‑borne encephalitis virus produced no clinical signs and limited replication. 42345572
2026-06-25 Zoonotic Surveillance Virus Isolation Infectious Louping ill virus was isolated from serum and multiple tissues of experimentally infected sheep, confirming recovery of viable virus. 42345572
2026-06-25 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Tick-borne encephalitis virus RNA was detected at low levels in the skin, prescapular lymph nodes, and spleen of experimentally infected sheep. 42345572
2026-06 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic analysis showed that BVDV‑1a sequences from small ruminants in Türkiye clustered closely with Turkish cattle strains, indicating evolutionary relatedness between bovine and ovine viruses. 41917271
2026-06 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Phylogenetic analysis revealed BVDV‑1a from sheep to be closely related to Turkish cattle strains, indicating cross‑species transmission between cattle and sheep. 41917271
2026-06 Genomic Evolution Phylogenetic Evolution Aydin‑like pestivirus sequences from small ruminants in Türkiye formed a cluster with local ovine isolates, indicating local evolutionary association within sheep. 41917271
2026-06 Zoonotic Surveillance Viral Detection Pestivirus RNA was detected in sheep and goats with abortion from eastern Türkiye using a pan‑pestivirus RT‑PCR assay. 41917271
2026-05-16 Zoonotic Surveillance Virus Isolation Infectious goatpox virus was successfully isolated in lamb testis cell culture during the UAE outbreak investigation. 42188951
