A total of 184 female goats, which were a year old or more, were randomly selected from fivedifferent study sites (Arpaalan, Birebir, Çiftliksarıca, Yeşilçit and Musalı) and the serum samples of the goats wereanalyzed for anti-N.caninum antibodies by applying ELISA. 16 out of 184 sera (8.69%) were determined asseropositive for anti-N.caninum antibodies. In terms of age groups, the seropositivity rate was highest in the 2years old goats (13.04%), while no seropositivity was detected in 1-year-old goats. The highest seropositivity rateamongst the study sites was found in Birebir with 36.6%, whereas none of the goats were seropositive examinedin Çiftliksarıca (April) and Yeşilçit. Sixteen (8.98%) out of 178 non-aborted goats were detected as seropositive,while there was no seropositivity in the 6 goats with abortion history. Neospora caninum seroprevalence was notfound to be statistically significant with regards to the age groups of the goats and aborting or non-abortingstatus(P>0.05), on the other hand, the results showed statistically significant (P<0.001) with regards to theresearch sites.
