All bears were clinically healthy at the time of sampling. Serum samples were tested for the presence of antibodies to Canine distemper virus (CDV), Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2), Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), Leptospira interrogans serovars, Brucella spp., Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Leishmania infantum, Toxoplasma gondii, and Dirofilaria immitis. Serologic evidence of exposure was found to the following agents: Leptospira spp. (n=39) 65%, T. gondii (n=12) 20%, and CDV (n=25) 41.6% (with low titers: 1/2 - 1/11), whereas no antibodies were detected against CAV-1, CPV-2, Brucella spp., B. burgdorferi, Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Leishmania infantum, and Dirofilaria immitis. In conclusion the data obtained in this study, provide results on the seroprevalence of selected infectious diseases, and emphasize the need for research and protection against infectious diseases of brown bears in Turkey.frinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBrown bearCanine distemper virusCanine parvovirus type 2Canine adenovirus type 1Leptospira interrogans serovarsBrucella spp.Borrelia burgdorferiEhrlichia canisAnaplasma phagocytophilumLeishmania infantumToxoplasma gondiiDirofilaria immitisCanine-distemper virusBlack bearsMicrobial pathogensCapturing methodViral pathogensPolar bearsCroatiaAlaskaDogsValuesVeterinary sciencesProceedings Paper00028246950001717717755Veterinary sciences
