Özet
This study was carried out on abomasal contents of aborted fetuses of 102 cattles, 45 sheep and 5 goats sent to the laboratory from Central Anatolia, and Black Sea Region of Turkey to investigate the presence Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) by trans-PCR. Out of 152 abomasal contents, 11 (7.23%) were detected to contain C. burnetii DNA. Four (3.92%) out of 102 cattle, 5 (11.11%) out of 45 sheep, and 2 (40%) out of 5 goat abomasal contents harbored C. burnetii DNA. As a result, PCR detection of C. burnetii DNA in fetal abomasum contents is a significant finding of a possible C. burnetii related abortion.
