| Summary: | Salmonella enterica serovar Abortusovis (S. Abortusovis), a Salmonella serovar host-adapted to sheep which causes
infectious disease, with abortion as the main symptom. Slow Micro-Agglutination Technique (YMAT) is the reference method for indirect
diagnosis of Salmonella enterica Serovar abortusovis. A total of 200 blood serum samples collected from 15 flocks were examined by
YMAT to determine the frequency of the disease in the flocks from province Konya. Of the sera, 5 (2.5%) were positive and 195 (97.5%)
negative. Sero-positivities for the sheep and rams from province Konya were 3% and 2%, respectively. It is concluded that Salmonella
enterica Serovar abortusovis infection is stil endemic in the province Konya. |
