Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the Coxiella burnetii and Chlamydia abortus antibodies in sheep in Duzce province. These two pathogens are causative agents of Query fever and Enzootic abortion of ewes, respectively which are related to abortion in small ruminants. Economic loss due to the abortions which are caused by microbiological agents is considerably high in many countries. Material and Methods: Blood samples of sheep were collected from Duzce province of Turkey for serological tests. Commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for the detection of specific antibodies to C. burnetii and C. abortus . A total of 72 samples obtained from 14 herds located in 12 villages/districts of 5 towns in Duzce province were utilized in this study. Samples were collected from 2-5-year-old female animals without an abortion history. Results: Total seroprevalence of Enzootic abortion of ewes and Query fever was found to be 20.83% and 26.38%, respectively. However, the proportion of seropositive herds was found to be 42.8% for Enzootic abortion of ewes and 50% for Q fever, which is higher than total seroprevalence. 6 flocks out of 14 were found to be seropositive for both of the diseases simultaneously. Conclusion: This study confirms the exposure of sheep herds in Duzce province to C. burnetii and C. abortus and provides original seroprevalence data about Duzce. The data gathered are beneficial to evaluate the possible connection of two investigated abortogenic pathogens in sheep abortion cases in Duzce province.
