Zoonotic Abortifacient Agents in Bovine Abortion: Diagnostic Assessment of 125 Cases (2015‐2017)
This study aimed to investigate the presence of Campylobacter spp., Coxiella burnetii, Brucella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Chlamydia abortus, and Cache Valley virus in bovine foetuses in Türkiye. Brucella spp., Campylobacter spp. and Coxiella burnetii were detected in 19 (15.2%), 4 (3.2%) and 2 (1.6%) of the bovine foetuses, respectively.
