dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out in order to investigate the presence of anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in sheep in the Nevsehir province in Turkey. Blood samples were taken from randomly selected 180 sheep, which were between 1 and 7 years of age and from different locations in Nevsehir province. All of the serum samples were ELISA tested for N. caninum antibodies. Fourteen (7.8%) of serum samples were found to be seropositive for N. caninum antibodies by using ELISA. According to the age, antibodies to N. caninum were found in six (7.7%) of 78 sheep at the age of 1-2 years of age, in four (7.3%) of 55 sheep at the age of 3-4 years of age, and in four (8.5%) of 47 sheep at the age of 5-7 years of age. Anti-N. caninum antibodies were detected in 13 (8.0%) of 162 ewes and 1 (5.6%) of 18 rams. Moreover, 34.8%, the highest seropositivity rate in this study was found in the central regions of Nevsehir, while the no antibodies were detected in Kozakli, Acigol, Hacibektas and Derinkuyu regions. The seropositivity rates of N. caninum were not statistically significant with regard to age groups (P=0.342), gender (P=0.261) and in relation to the study centers (P=0.173). This is the first serologic survey for N. caninum antibodies performed on sheep in Nevsehir province.
