presence of coxiella burnetii in airborne dust samples from goat and sheep farms in kerman, iran
background : q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by inhalation of the bacterium coxiella burnetii . ruminant livestock are common reservoirs for c. burnetii , and bacteria present in aerosols derived from the waste of infected animals can infect humans . c. burnetii is thought to infect humans primarily via airborne transmission. methods : 64 environmental swab samples were collected from 24 ...
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii Genotyping
Coxiella burnetii is a strict intracellular bacterium with potential as a bioterrorism agent. To characterize different isolates of C. burnetii at the molecular level, we performed multispacer sequence typing (MST). MST is based on intergenic region sequencing. These regions are potentially variable since they are subject to lower selection pressure than the adjacent genes. We screened 68 space...
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii in bulk tank milk samples from dairy goat and dairy sheep farms in The Netherlands in 2008.
In 2007, a human Q fever epidemic started, mainly in the south eastern part of The Netherlands with a suspected indirect relation to dairy goats, and, to a lesser degree, to dairy sheep. This article describes the Q fever prevalences in Dutch dairy goat and dairy sheep bulk tank milk (BTM) samples, using a real-time (RT) PCR and ELISA. Results of BTM PCR and ELISA were compared with the serolog...
متن کاملDetection of Coxiella burnetii DNA in inhalable airborne dust samples from goat farms after mandatory culling.
Coxiella burnetii is thought to infect humans primarily via airborne transmission. However, air measurements of C. burnetii are sparse. We detected C. burnetii DNA in inhalable and PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic size of 10 μm or less) dust samples collected at three affected goat farms, demonstrating that low levels of C. burnetii DNA are present in inhalable size fractions.
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii in samples from cattle herds and sheep flocks in the Kars region of Turkey
This study was aimed at determining the presence of C. burnetii in cattle and sheep herds in the Kars region of Turkey using serological and molecular methods. As a serological technique, C.burnetii IgG in blood sera and milk samples were investigated with ELISA. The results of these examinations revealed that 108 (43.2%) out of 250 sheep blood serum samples and 52 (14.85%) out of 350 cattle bl...
