Abstract

This study was carried out in order to determine the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in cattle in the region of Afyonkarahisar in western Turkey. For this purpose, blood samples were collected from 109 cattle younger than 2-year-old and 376 cattle older than 2-year-old and sera were obtained from these samples. Sera were examined for antibodies against N.caninum using a commercial competitive ELISA (cELISA) kit. Accordingly, seroprevalence of N.caninum in Afyonkarahisar was found to be 21.03 %. Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between age and seropositivity, however, it was observed that 32 of 62 aborting cows (51.6 %) showed seropositivity. Moreover, the differences between aborting and nonaborting seropositive cattle was significant statistically (p <0.001). In conclusion, the antibodies of N. caninum was determined in cattle of Afyonkarahisar province and it is suggested that N.caninum should be taken into consideration in abort cases of cattle, however, the isolation of N.caninum from aborted cow foetus has to be performed to confirm the diagnosis

Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye'nin batısında Afyonkarahisar yöresi sığırlarında Neospora caninum seroprevalansını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada 2 yaşından küçük 109, 2 yaşından büyük 376 sığırdan kan örnekleri alınmış ve serumları çıkarılmıştır. Serumlar ticari kompetatif ELISA (cELISA) kiti kullanılarak N.caninum’a karşı oluşan antikorlar yönünden incelenmiştir. Buna göre Afyonkarahisar’da N.caninum seroprevalansı % 21.03 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yaş ile seropozitiflik arasında bir ilişki belirlenmemiş ancak geçmişinde abort hikayesi bulunan 62 sığırın 32’sinin (% 51.6) seropozitif olduğu gözlenmiştir. Abort yapan ve yapmayan seropozitif sığırlar arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak da anlamlı bulunmuştur (p <0.001). Sonuç olarak bu çalışma ile Afyonkarahisar yöresi sığırlarında N.caninum antikorları tespit edilmiş, abort vakalarında hastalığın gözardı edilmemesi gerektiği ancak kesin tanı için fötustan etken izolasyonuna gidilmesinin uygun olacağı gözlenmiştir
