Abstract

Ovine and caprine abortions are considered of principal importance in production due to their elevated incidence,the economic loses that are involved and the zoonotic character of some of these infections. They areetiologically diverse processes and on occasions of difficult diagnosis. In this project the results that arepresented have been obtained from a total of 536 serum samples (413 ovine and 123 caprine samples)corresponding to 52 herds within the Comunidad Valenciana (39 ovine and 13 caprine herds) in which problemsrelated to abortions have been detected, between January 2001 and July 2002. The toxoplasmosis, the enzoooticabortion, Q fever and Border disease were found to be the causes of abortions most frequently diagnosed in thiszone, followed by paratific and brucelar abortions, present in 11,7% and 4,1% of the herds respectively. In67,53% of the individual samples it was possible to confirm the presence of at least one infectious agent as themost probable origin of the abortions.
