Detection of Coxiella burnetii prevalence in bovine, ovine and caprine herds

Abstract

In this study, a total of 600 blood samples of 200 cattle, 200 sheep and 200 goats from 4 different farms in Aydin Province were investigated serologically and molecularly for the presence of C. burnetii. According to ELISA, the number of positive samples gathered from cattle, sheep and goats were 40 (20.0%), 58 (29.0 %) and 42 (21.0 %), respectively. According to IFA method, the number of positive samples gathered from cattle, sheep and goats were 44 (22.0%), 58 (29.0 %) and 46 (23.0 %), respectively. According to PCR analysis, the number of PCR positive samples of cattle were 96 (48.0%), sheep were 72 (36.0%) and goats were 46 (23.0%). In conclusion, PCR analysis was found as the most sensitive method for detecting C. burnetii from blood samples taken from animals which seem to be healthy
