VAN İLİ GEVAŞ İLÇESİNDE ATIK YAPAN KOYUNLARDA NEOSPORA CANİNUM’UN SEROPREVALANSI

Bu çalışmada Van ili Gevaş ilçesinde koyunlarda abort etkenlerinden Neospora caninum’a karşı oluşan antikor varlığının serolojik olarak belirlenmesi hedeflendi. Bu amaçla Van ili Gevaş ilçesinde atık şikayeti ile başvuran hayvan sahiplerinin işletmesine gidilerek atık sonrası 16. güne kadar olan 80 adet koyundan usulüne uygun olarak V. jugularisten kan örnekleri alındı. Alınan kan örneklerinden RBC, HCT, HB, RDW, PLT, WBC Nötrofil, Lenfosit ve Eozonofil düzeyleri belirlendi. Biyokimya tüpüne alınan kan örneklerinden de serum elde edilerek Neospora caninum’a karşı oluşmuş antikorların varlığı tür spesifik ELISA test kiti ile belirlendi. Elde edilen absorbans değerlerine göre N. caninum antikorları açısından pozitif koyun bulunmazken, koyunların 72’sinin negatif, 8’inin ise şüpheli olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç olarak; elde edilen bulgular ışığında Van ili Gevaş ilçesinde abort yapan 80 koyunda her ne kadar pozitif değer görülmese de 8 adet şüpheli sonucun olması N. caninum’un bölgede olabileceği, konuyla ilgili bölgede koruma ve kontrol uygulamalarının yapılması gerektiği kanaatine varıldı. 

Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in Aborted Sheep in Gevaş District of Van Province

In this study, it was aimed to determine the presence of antibodies, via serologically, against Neospora caninum which caused abortion in sheep in Van/Gevaş. For this purpose, in Van province, Gevaş district, the animal owners who applied with the complaint of abort were visited. Eighty sheep which had aborted until the 16th day were included in the study. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein for diagnosis. RBC, HCT, HB, RDW, PLT, WBC neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosonophil levels were determined. Serum was obtained from the blood samples and the antibodies against Neospora caninum was determined by the species-specific ELISA assay. According to the absorbance values obtained, it was determined that there were no positive sheep in terms of N. caninum antibodies and 72 of the sheep were negative and 8 were suspicious. As a result; in light of the findings; although no positive value was found in 80 sheepin Van/Gevas district which had aborted, due to 8 suspicious results, the N. caninum can be present in the region. Regarding the issue, protection and control practices should be carried out in the region.
