Results of BTM PCR and ELISA were compared with the serolog...
متن کاملRisk factors for Coxiella burnetii antibodies in bulk tank milk from Danish dairy herds
The aim was to identify risk factors associated with Coxiella burnetii antibody positivity in bulk tank milk (BTM) samples from 100 randomly selected Danish dairy cattle herds. Antibody levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay. Before testing the herds, the farm managers were interviewed about hired labour, biosecurity, housing and herd health during the 12 months prior to ...
