Totally 29 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.8%); were determined from examined 184 serum samples. Serum samples obtained from Anatolian Buffaloes were examined first time in terms of serologically in our region respect to Q Fever. As a result, the data provided within the scope of the research indicate a Q Fever seropositivity level that could pose a risk for our indigenous buffalo population.
