Popis:	Objective This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of Neospora caninum and Besnoitia besnoiti in cattle in the Oguzlar district of Corum province. Methods Venous blood samples were collected from the vena jugularis of 100 cattle in the Oguzlar region and stored into anticoagulant-free tubes. Serum samples were examined with commercial c-ELISA kits for N. caninum (IDEXX, Switzerland) and B. besnoiti (ID.vet, France). Results Two of serum samples were found to be N. caninum (2%) and five were B. besnoiti (5%) seropositive. No mixed infection was detected in any of serum samples. Conclusion In this study, the presence of N. caninum and B. besnoiti was serologically determined in animals that are not imported in the Oguzlar region. This is the first study in the region to identify B. besnoiti in the seropositive cattle and is the third study in Turkey.
