Molecular detection of Chlamydia abortus and investigation of oxidative stress parameters in sheep fetuses in the Black Sea Region of T ürkiye

ConclusionsCP, MDA, TOS and OSI levels were found to be significantly higher (P  <  0.05) in theC. abortus infected group compared to the control group (P  <  0.05). It was determined that the TAS level decreased in the infected group compared to the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference (P >  0.05). As a result, it was determined thatC. abortus was found at a substantial rate in small ruminant abortion cases in the Black Sea Region. In addition, it was determined for the first time in T ürkiye that the oxidative stress increased in abortions caused byC. abortus and infected small ruminants could not produce enough antioxidants. It is thought that this result may be useful in the diagnosis ofC. abortus.
