Viral honey bee diseases show disease-specific symptoms in bees and therefore in colonies, depending on the characteristics of the causative agent of the disease in bee colonies. Based on these symptoms, doctors cannot name the disease. In order to name the disease, serious observations must be made on bee colonies and bees, appropriate bee samples must be sampled, and it must be carefully examined whether the colonies are affected by the environmental conditions in the environment. In line with this information, a protocol document should be prepared for the colony and the name of the viral agent that is effective on the honey bee colony and suspected by the physician should be determined and the dead bees or honeycomb pieces sampled from the colony should be sent to the cold chain laboratory. In this way, the name of the viral disease agent is determined only from the appropriate samples sent to the laboratory. Once the viral agents of honey bee diseases are identified, protection and control procedures should be started. Therefore, laboratory diagnosis is important in viral honey bee diseases.

3I was born in Elazığ on 03.11.1964. After completing my primary, secondary and high school education, I entered F.Ü. Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. I graduated from the faculty in 1987. I did my military service in 1988-1989. After returning from military service, I worked as a freelance veterinarian for a short time. In June 1990, I was appointed as a Veterinarian at Elazığ Veterinary Control Institute. In the fall semester of the same year, I studied at F.Ü. I started my PhD program in the Department of Virology at the Institute of Health Sciences. I completed my PhD in June 1995. I got 70 points in the Interuniversity Board Center Foreign Language Exam in November 1996. In the same year, I received Veterinary Epidemiology training for 3 months at Colorado State University Veterinary Faculty. Upon my return, I started working as the laboratory manager of the Virology Laboratory within the Elazığ Veterinary Control Institute. I worked in this position for a long time. On 12.09.2015, I started working at the Virology Department of Bingöl University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. I left this position. On 13.09.2015, at Bingöl University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Virology, Dr. I started working as a faculty member. I was appointed as the head of the Department of Virology on 05.11.2015. With the evaluation of my March 2019 Associate Professorship application file, I received the title of Associate Professor in April 2020. I was appointed to the Associate Professor position in May 2021. I serve as the head of the Department of Virology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. I have been serving as the Associate Professor representative in the Faculty Board of our Faculty since 29.04 2020. I started my duty on the board of directors of our faculty on 30.04.2020. I am still carrying out these duties.
