Abstract
The present study was earned out to determine the seroprevalence of antibodies to C. burnetii in cattle and sheep in the east of Turkey. Sennn samples collected randomly from 92 cattle and 92 sheep were examined by ELISA (Vircell-SL, Spain) to detect IgG antibodies against C. burnetii phase II antigen. Seropositivity was observed in 16.3% of the cattle and in 5.4% of the sheep. Coxiellosis has an important seropositivity in both cattle and sheep and it can cause serious health problem in humans living in Eastern Turkey. © 2009 Academic Journals Inc.
