Summary The bovine enterovirus type 1 (BEV‐1) infection has a wide range of host spectrum including humans. In this study, seroprevalence of BEV‐1 was investigated in eight mammalian species. Blood serum samples were collected from 244 humans, 1520 cattle, 272 horse, 126 dog, 281 sheep, 477 goat, 18 camel ( Camelus dromedarius ) and 82 gazelle ( Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosa ) in different regions of Turkey. Microneutralization tests showed that gazelle and camel did not have any seropositivities, but seropositivities were detected in humans (30.3%), cattle (64.8%), horse (12.8%), dog (3.2%), sheep (32.8%) and goat (27.6%).
