ABSTRACT
Sakhaee E, Khalili M, Banavand R., Incidence of coxiella brunetii in goats with
history of abortion, Onl J Vet Res., 27 (9): 535-538, 2023. Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular microorganism
that causes Q fever in humans and animals. We report anti-C. burnetii antibodies in milk
samples of 30 goats with or without history of abortion collected during Spring
NH with average temperature ~22C. Samples were tested for antibodies against C. burnetii by ELISA Test Kit. We found 31/60 (51.66 %)
goats had antibodies against C. burnetii of which 63% had abortions and 40% had
not. However we found no difference between groups (p > 0.05). Our findings suggests that goat milk could be a
source of C. burnetii infection for humans in
Iran.
Keywords: Coxiella brunetii, goats, abortion.
