Atık yapan sığırlarda Anti-Neospora caninum antikorlarının yaygınlığının araştırılması

Bu araştırma sığırların önemli protozoal atık etkenlerinden olan Neospora caninum’un atık yapan sığırlardaki yaygınlığının araştırılması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla atık geçmişi ile Veteriner Kontrol Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü’ne 25 ilden gönderilen 986 sığır kan serumu N. caninum antikorları yönünden compatative ELISA (c-ELISA) ile taranmıştır ve örneklerde %32,35 oranında N. caninum antikoru tespit edilmiştir. Sığır çiftliklerinde N. caninum kaynaklı enfeksiyonlarda atıklara ilave olarak süt verimlerinde azalmaya, döl tutma problemine bağlı olarak erken damızlıktan çıkarmaya ve persiste enfekte buzağıların doğmasına neden olarak ciddi ekonomik kayıplara yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada atık yapan sığırlarda %32,35 oranında N. caninum tespit edilmesi etkenin sığır atıklarında göz ardı edilmemesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Distribution of Anti-Neospora caninum Antibodies in Cattle with abortion history

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of Neospora caninum which is a crucial protozoal aborting agent in cattle breeding. For this purpose, 986 cattle blood samples, sent to Veterinary Control Central Research Institute from 25 different provinces in Turkey with abortion history, were tested with Competitive ELISA (c-ELISA) and Anti-N. caninum antibodies were detected from 32.35% of the samples. In addition to abortion in cattle, N. caninum causes economic losses in dairy and beef cattle farms due to reduction in milk yield, early separation from breeding by reason of reproductive disorders and persistently infected calf births. In this research, Anti-N. caninum antibodies were detected in 32.35% of the serum samples from cattle with abortion history and the result shows that N. caninum has an important role in cattle abortion and should not be overlooked as an abortion agent.
