animals have been demonstrated to play a role in certain diseases transmitted
to susceptible animals and human populations. In this study, serum samples
collected from Anatolian Buffaloes in breeding Samsun and around were examined
for Q Fever. For this purpose 184 sera were analyzed with commercial ELISA test
kit. Totally 29 (15.8%) were determined from examined 184 serum samples. Serum
samples obtained from Anatolian Buffaloes were examined first time in terms of
serologically in our region respect to Q Fever. As a result, the data provided
within the scope of the research indicate a Q Fever seropositivity level that
could pose a risk for our indigenous buffalo population. We concluded that the
data obtained from this study can constitute a resource to similar studies in
our region. The epidemiology of the disease can be elaborated in the light of
studies that will be carried out with more comprehensive researches in our
region. </font> </span> <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Bülent VEREP}, organization={ONDOKUZ MAYIS ÜNİVERSİTESİ PROJE YÖNETİM OFİSİ}
