(Ecole Nationale Veterinaire Toulouse, 2011) Gazyagci, S.; Aktas, M. S.; Kilic, S.; Babur, C.; Celebi, B.; Duru, S. Y.
The present study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of Q fever among the dairy cattle in the Konya province, Central Anatolia, Turkey. Specifically, sera samples were collected from 322 dairy cattle and the presence of IgG antibodies occurred against Coxiella burnetii phase II was identified by an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) test using the 1:32 dilution as positive threshold. A total of 40 cows (seroprevalence: 12.4%) gave positive results. No association was evidenced between the seropositivity and reproductive disorders or the tick presence. These results indicate that C. burnetii was implanted in the dairy cattle in both the Konya province and Central Anatolia, Turkey.
