Özet:

 The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of N. caninum, an apicomplexan protozoan parasite, in goats raised in Polatlı district of Ankara province. For this purpose, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 150 goats in Polatlı district. The seras obtained from the collected blood samples were analysed using a commercial ELISA kit. As a result of serological analyses 9 out of 150 blood serum samples examined 6 were found to be seropositivity for the presence of N. caninum. It was determined that all of the seropositivity samples belonged to female goats aged one year and above. When evaluated according to breeds, the positivity rate was determined as 8.3 n7 in Angora goats and 3 n2 in Hair goats. However, according to the obtained data, no statistically significant difference was found between breeds in terms of N. caninum seropositivity p0.05. When compared according to age and gender, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of N. caninum seropositivity p0.05. In this study, N. caninum was detected serologically for the first time in goats of Polatlı region of Ankara. It is thought that N. caninum should be taken into consideration in goat abortions that may occur in the region and that protection and control measures against this parasite should be increased.

 Bu çalışmada Ankara ili Polatlı ilçesinde yetiştirilen keçilerde apicomplexan bir protozoon parazit olan Neospora caninumun seroprevalansının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Polatlı ilçesinde yetiştirilen 150 keçinin vena jugularisinden usulüne uygun şekilde kan örnekleri toplanmıştır. Toplanan kan örneklerinden elde edilen serumlar ticari ELISA kiti kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan serolojik analizler sonucunda, incelenen 150 kan serumu örneğinin 9unda 6 N. caninum varlığı yönünden seropozitiflik tespit edilmiştir. Seropozitiflik belirlenen örneklerin tamamının bir yaş ve üzeri dişi keçilere ait olduğu saptanmıştır. Irklara göre değerlendirildiğinde, seropozitiflik oranı Ankara keçilerinde 8.3 n7, Kıl keçilerinde ise 3 n2 olarak belirlenmiştir. Ancak elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda ırklar arasında N. caninum seropozitifliği bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır p0.05. Yaş ve cinsiyete göre karşılaştırıldığında ise N. caninum seropozitifliği açısından istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur p0.05. Bu çalışmada Ankaranın Polatlı yöresindeki keçilerde N. caninumun varlığı serolojik olarak ilk kez belirlenmiştir. Yörede ortaya çıkacak olan keçi abortlarında N. caninumun da göz önüne alınması, bu parazite yönelik koruma ve kontrol tedbirlerinin arttırılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
