Abstract

Objective: Neospora caninum is one of the most important causes of abortion in cattle worldwide and causes significant economic losses in the meat and dairy industries. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of N. caninum in dairy cattle raised in Çiçekdağı district of Kırşehir province. Methods: One hundred sixteen serum samples collected from dairy cattle were analyzed for N. caninum antibodies by a commercial En- zyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (VMRD c-ELISA). Results: The seropositivity rate was 18.1% in the cattle examined. The seroprevalence of N. caninum was 23.4% in dairy cattle with fertility problems, 33.3% in cattle with a history of abortion, and 7.8% in clinically healthy dairy cattle (p=0.006). Cattle breeds with highest seroposi- tivity rates were Holstein, Simmental, and Brown Swiss (p=0.008). Conclusion: Control measures should be taken for both dogs as final host of the parasite cattle to prevent the spread of neosporosis in cattle in Çiçekdağı district.

Özet

Amaç: Günümüzde dünya üzerinde sığırların en önemli abort nedenlerinden biri olarak kabul edilen Neospora caninum hem et hem de sütendüstrisinde önemli ekonomik kayba sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kırşehir İli Çiçekdağı İlçesi’nde yetiştirilen süt sığırı işletmelerindeörneklenen ineklerde N. caninum seroprevalansının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada 116 inekten serum örneği toplanmıştır. Toplanan serumların N. caninum antikorları bakımından ticari Enzyme-Lin-ked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) test kiti (VMRD c-ELISA) kullanılarak incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Sığırların % 18,1’i N. caninum yönünden seropozitif bulunmuştur. Neosporosis seroprevalansı döl tutmama problemi olan ineklerde% 23,4, abort yapanlarda ise % 33,3 oranında tespit edilmiş, klinikçe sağlıklı görünümde olan ineklerde ise bu oran % 7,8 olmuştur (p=0,006).En yüksek seropozitiflik görülen ırklar sırasıyla Holstein, Simental ve Montofon olmuştur (p=0,008).Sonuç: Çiçekdağı ilçesindeki sığırlarda neosporosisin yayılmasını önlemek için hem parazitin son konağı olan köpekler hem de sığırlar yönünden kontrol tedbirleri alınması gerekir.
