Investigation of Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma Gondii in Sheep and Goats in Siirt Province in Turkey

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in sheep and goats in Siirt province. Blood samples were collected from a total of 450 female animals, consisting of 200 goats and 250 sheep in Siirt province. Samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and stored. The study was carried out by ELISA method using commercial test kit (Toxoplasma gondii Antibody Test Kit, IDEXX). According to the results of this study which was carried out using the ELISA method, 28 of the 450 animals (6.22%) were positive, 393 (87.33%) were negative, 17 (3.78%) were suspicious, while 12 (2.67%) were weak positive. As the result of the analysis a significant relationship was found between the results and the species (p<005), and no significant relationship between the results and the ages of the animals was observed (p>0.05). As a result, the presence of T. gondii in sheep and goats in Siirt region was determined for the first time by this study and it was concluded that precautionary measures should be taken.
