Molecular characterization of BCoV infecting vaccinated and non-vaccinated cattle in Thrace district Türkiye and isolation of field strains
This study indicates that BCoV remains a health concern in calves in Türkiye, with isolates clustering in the GIb subgroup alongside European strains. Strengthening biosecurity and regular monitoring should remain priorities; collecting immunologic and field-effectiveness data will help guide the development of regionally updated vaccination strategies. A One Health approach that combines full-genome sequencing with epidemiological studies would help assess zoonotic potential.
