Abstract
In this study, total of 400 aorta suspected with parasitic aortitis was investigated between the years 2011-2012 in slaughtered cattle in the Southeastern of Turkey.

The aim of this study is to investigate prevalance and pathology of parasitic aortitis in detail caused by Onchocerca armillata in the Southeastern region of Turkey.
