dc.description.abstractThis study was performed to investigate seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in goats in Nigde province between February 2010-May 2010. A total of 181 goats which were one year old or more than one year old, were selected from eight diferent study sites (Bahçeli, Centrum-Tepeköy, Bor, Çamardi{dotless} Celaller Village, Ki{dotless}zi{dotless}lca, Çukurkuyu, Uluki{dotless}şla, ve Central Çamardi{dotless}) as the study sample and N. caninum antibodies were tested in these goats serum using ELISA. The 47 out of 181 sera (25.9%) were found to be seropositive for N. caninum. In the serologic examinations, the seropositivity rate was highest in 5 years old (42.3%) while it was lowest in 3 years old (13.8%) in goats. The 6 (37.5%) out of 16 aborted goats and 41 (24.8%) out of 165 non-aborted were detected as seropositive. The highest seropositivity rate of study sites was determined in Çamardi{dotless} as 54.5% in addition to this, none of examined goats in Bahçeli and Ki{dotless}zi{dotless}lca detected seropositivity. The diference between the seropositivity rates to N.caninum among age groups and study sites was statistically significant (P<0.05, P<0.01, respectively) while the diference to N. caninum among aborted and non-aborted goats was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). As a result, this is the first serologic survey for N. caninum performed on goats in Nigde province and neosporosis should be taken into consideration in abortion cases.
