| Özet |
| This study was aimed at determining the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum infection in sheep raised in Kars province and its vicinity in Turkey. Three-hundred-and-seventy-six sheep of varying ages and breeds, which were randomly selected from 5 foci located in the Kars region (Kars central district, and the Arpaçay, Kağızman, Selim and Susuz districts). The serum sample of each animal was tested for the presence of antibodies against N. caninum using the ELISA test. The test results demonstrated that, out of the 376 sheep included in the study, 8 (2.1%) were seropositive for antibodies against N. caninum. The highest seropositivity rate (8.9%) was detected in the central district of Kars province, while the second highest seropositivity rate (1.4%) was determined in the Susuz district. No anti-Neospora caninum antibodies were detected in the serum samples of the animals raised in the Arpaçay, Kağızman and Selim districts. The seroprevalence of neosporosis in sheep raised in the Kars region was determined to be 2.1%. This is the first report of seropositivity for N. caninum in sheep from the Kars region and Turkey. |
