Background
Q fever is a worldwide occurring neglected zoonotic disease with great economic importance. The etiological agent, Coxiella burnetii, is a bacterium usually associated with subclinical infections in livestock, but may also cause reproductive pathology and spontaneous abortions in artiodactyl species including goats, sheep and cattle whic...

... the present study, an overall Q fever seroprevalence of 37.6% (169/450) was recorded in cattle. Statistically significant variation in the seroprevalence of Q fever in cattle was not observed among the three study districts (Table 4). Statistically significant variation was not observed between male 73 (37.8%) and female 96 (37.4%) cattle. ...Similar publications
When biomedical research investigates the human surgical situation in the need of a chronic course, it is more often possible to do so using large animal models. The use of farm animals always poses special challenges for the institution conducting the research in terms of infection prevention and occupational safety. Especially for the zoonotic di...
Background/Objectives: Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) represent medical conditions having causes that can range from genetic determinations to various risk factors, having potential life-threatening complications, the familial TAA (FTAA) being a cluster of non-syndromic thoracic aortic aneurysms. This review aims to emphasize the importance of gen...
Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) is an intracellular bacterium and the cause of query fever (Q fever), which is a serious zoonotic disease that influences numerous animal species globally. Thus, the current investigation's aims were to ascertain the molecular diagnosis of C. burnetii and the epidemiological findings' correlation with C. burnetii inf...
Acute Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is a zoonotic infection presenting with non-specific symptoms such as high fever, severe headache and myalgia, making it challenging to diagnose. Traditional diagnostic methods often fall short due to their time-consuming nature and limited sensitivity. A 26-year-old male presented with severe headache, p...
Coxiella burnetii causes Q fever in humans and coxiellosis in animals. It was widely distributed worldwide; the main reservoirs are sheep, goats, and cattle. This study has been conducting to detection C. burnetii in raw milk of cattle (50) milk samples were randomly collected from dairy cattle from different areas of major districts of Karbala Pro...

... In goats, significant associations were found with sex, season, source, and tick presence. Getachew et al. (2024) [20] examined 1350 ruminants (450 cattle, 450 goats, and 450 sheep) across three 1districts in the South Omo zone, Ethiopia. They used ELISA testing to determine seroprevalence rates, finding 37.6% in cattle and 28.7% in small ruminants. ...
