    This study, thus, aimed to investigate the seroepidemiological status of Adana province for CCHFV in ruminants, according to species, breed, age, gender and geographical location. The study was carried out in 15 districts from sea level to plateaus (0-1472 m), within a 14,030 km² area. Total of 485 serum samples (165 cattle, 169 sheep and 160 goats) were collected from domestic ruminants. A modified human-based IgG ELISA kit was used for the detection of CCHFV specific antibodies in cattle, sheep and goats. Statistical analyses indicated a significant relationship between antibody presence and animal age, species, breed and location but there was no relation with animal gender. Out of 485 samples, 154 were seropositive (31.8%). It was determined that the statistical cluster varied between 5.8% and 74.3% according to location and seropositivity. The most important variable associated with antibody presence was geographic location. While high seropositivity is found at altitudes above 555 meters, it is found to be 7% and 3% at sea level. The results indicate that Adana province is at risk for CCHFV infection, especially in high altitude regions.
