Özet
The present study was carried out on sheep to determine the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii. Serum samples were collected randomly from 100 sheep, in five different locations in West Turkey and were investigated for IgG antibodies against C. burnetii phase II antigen by indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). History of the animals such as age, breed, tick control and abortion were recorded. A total of 3 (3 %) analyzed sera had antibodies to C. burnetii. This study revealed the presence of C. burnetii in sheep in the region of Aydin, Turkey.
