Abstract

In this study, we aimed to investigate the regional profile of bovine and ovine Brucellosis in Burdur by isolating Brucella sop. in milk and by detecting antibodies to Brucellae in milk samples. For this purpose, 404 milk samples from 101 cows and 226 milk samples from 113 ewes located in 14 different areas of Burdur were collected. The samples were examined by bacteriological and serological methods.
