Özet

Neosporosis is a disease caused by an intracellular protozoon Neospora caninum and is one of the most important causes of bovine abortion. This study was undertaken to detect N. can mum seroprevalance in Erzurum, the largest province of Eastern Turkey using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). A total of 385 cattle sera including 47 previously aborted cow sera of different ages and breed were collected between June and December 2009. The anti-N.caninum antibodies were tested by competitive ELISA kits. As a result, 41 of 385 (10.65%) cattle were found to be seropositive while this rate was 21.27% (10/47) in aborted cows.
