The study material consisted of 442 clinically healthy multiparous Holstein dairy cattle. Live weights, the previous lactation milk yield, and age of the animals were recorded. Seroprevalence was determined by ELISA in the collected sera samples. The seroprevalence of the disease was found to be 13% in the central district of Manisa, 28% in Turgutlu, 20% in Alasehir, 38% in Kula, 26% in Akhisar, and 22% in Salihli.
