Serological Investigation of Q Fever in Anatolian Buffaloes

Buffaloes as in other animals have been demonstrated to play a role in certain diseases transmitted to susceptible animalsand human populations. In this study, serum samples were collected from Anatolian Buffaloes in breeding Samsun and around were examinedfor Q Fever. For this purpose, 184 sera were analyzed with commercial ELISA test kit. Totally 29 (15.8%) were determined positive for Q Feverfrom examined 184 serum samples. Serum samples obtained from Anatolian Buffaloes were examined first time in terms of serologically in ourregion 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 arisk for our indigenous buffalo population. We concluded that the data obtained from this study can constitute a resource to similar studies in ourregion. The epidemiology of the disease can be elaborated in the light of studies that will be carried out with more comprehensive researches inour region.

Anadolu Mandalarında Q Fever Hastalığının Serolojik Olarak Araştırılması

Öz:

Mandaların, diğer hayvanlarda olduğu gibi bazı hastalıkların duyarlı hayvan popülasyonlarına ve insanlara bulaştırılmasında rol oynadıkları ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Samsun ili ve ilçelerinde yetiştiriciliği yapılan Anadolu Mandalarına ait kan serum örnekleri Q fever hastalığı yönünden incelendi. Bu amaçla, 184 kan serumu ticari bir ELISA kiti ile test edildi. İncelenen 184 serum örneğinin 29 (%15.8)’u Q fever hastalığı açısından seropozitif bulundu. Bu araştırma ile bölgemizde ilk kez Anadolu Mandalarına ait serum örnekleri Q fever yönünden serolojik olarak incelendi. Sonuç olarak, proje kapsamında sağlanan veriler bölgemiz manda populasyonu için risk oluşturabilecek düzeyde Q fever seropozitifliğine işaret etmektedir. Yürütülen araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin, yöremizde yapılacak benzer çalışmalara kaynak teşkil edebileceği kanısına varıldı. Bölgemizde daha kapsamlı projelerle gerçekleştirilecek araştırmalar ışığında hastalığın epidemiyolojisi detaylı bir şekilde ortaya konulabilecektir.
