detection of coxiella burnetii and sequencing the is1111 gene fragment in bulk tank milk of dairy herds
نویسندگان
چکیده
coxiella burnetii is the etiologic agent of q fever in human. this study is aimed to determine the contamination rate of c. burnetii in bulk tank milk samples. in this study, a total number of 100 bulk milk samples collected from dairy farms in northeast of iran and were examined for c. burnetii using touchdown pcr assay. the primers were designed to amplify a 687-bp fragment of the is1111 gene of c. burnetii. five samples (5%) of bovine milk were found positive for c. burnetii. sequence analysis of pcr products revealed 100% identity with published sequences of c. burnetii in genbank. results of this study indicate that bovine milk is an important source of c. burnetii infection in iran.

Risk 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 ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Coxiella burnetii in Bulk Tank Milk Samples from Dairy Cattle in West and Northwest of Iran
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by an obligate gram-negative intracellular pathogen called Coxiella burnetii. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-C. burnetii antibodies in bulk tank milk (BTM) samples of dairy cattle in west and northwest of Iran. Me...
متن کاملPrevalence and risk factors for Coxiella burnetii (Q fever) in Dutch dairy cattle herds based on bulk tank milk testing.
Despite cattle herds can harbor Coxiella burnetii, risk factors for C. burnetii presence in dairy cattle herds are largely unknown. Therefore, C. burnetii herd prevalence and risk factors for bulk tank milk (BTM) positivity were investigated. In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was filled out by the farmer and BTM from 301 farms was tested by ELISA for presence of C. burnetii antibod...
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii in Bulk Tank Milk Samples, United States
Dairy cattle are a primary reservoir of Coxiella burnetii, which causes Q fever. However, no recent nationwide studies have assessed the prevalence and risks of Q fever in dairy cattle. We report >or=94% prevalence in samples of bulk tank milk from U.S. dairy herds tested during the past 3 years.
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 کاملAssociation between antibodies to Coxiella burnetii in bulk tank milk and perinatal mortality of Danish dairy calves
BACKGROUND Coxiella burnetii is a well-known cause of placentitis and subsequent abortion in ruminants, but there are no reports on the relationship with perinatal mortality. The study was performed to determine the influence of level and change of bulk tank milk (BTM) antibodies to C. burnetii on two outcomes associated with parturition in cattle: a) stillbirth; and b) stillbirth and neonatal ...
