Mavi Dil Virus (Blue Tongue Virus-BTV) enfeksiyonlarý koyunlarýn önemli abort etkenleri arasýndadýrlar. Bu çalýþmada, BTVenfeksiyonunun varlýðýný serolojik olarak araþtýrýlmasý amaçlanmýþtýr. Bu amaçla, Afyonkarahisar ilindeki 4 ilçedeki 7 köyden toplam568 koyun örneklendi. Serolojik muayenede ruminant türlerinde tüm BTV serotiplerini belirlemek için geliþtirilmiþ kompetatif ELISAkullanýldý. Test sonuçlarýna göre, 568 örnekten 141inin (%24.8) BTV antikor pozitif olduðu belirlendi. Köy bazýnda ise %11.1 ile %42arasýnda deðiþen oranlarda seropozitiflik tespit edildi
