چکیده
Q fever is a worldwide distributed zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii (Hoover et al., 1992; Maurin and Roult, 1999; Norlander, 2000), except New Zealand (Hilbink et al., 1993). Seroepidemiologic studies have reported different results for the seroprevalence of the bacterium in sheep (3 to 79 %) in Turkey (Özyer et al., 1990; Çetinkaya et al., 2000; Kalender, 2001; Kı lıc et al., 2005; Dogru et al., 2010; Kennerman et al., 2010; Parın and Kaya, 2012). These wide differences could be due to sampling region in the country, testing methods, and the year of surveys. The seropositivity of C. burnetii in cattle serum samples was 19 % reported by Özyer et al. (1990), 5.8 % by Abstract

Detection of Coxiella burnetii by Real-Time PCR in Raw Milk and Traditional Cheese Distributed in Tehran Province
Coxiella burnetii is common causative agent of Q fever in humans and animals. Although the main route of human infection is through inhalation of contaminated aerosols (dust), but oral transmission through contaminated raw milk and dairy products are also possible routes of infection. The aim of this study was to identify and determine the extent of contamination and prevalence of Coxiella burn...

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen of dairy cattle. In this study, bulk milk samples representing a total of 4105 milking cows, from 18 dairy cattle herds in the suburb of Mashhad- Iran, were tested for presence of BVDV by the use of a nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Nested RT- PCR) assay. Non of the cows in the herds had been vaccinated against...

Abstract Background and objectives: Paratuberculosis or John's disease is a chronic infectious disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). It results in major economic losses to dairy farm of all over the world and it is the agent causing crohn's disease.

BACKGROUND Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Prevalence data in ruminant species are important to support risk assessments regarding public and animal health. The aim was to investigate the presence of or exposure to C. burnetii in cattle, sheep, goats and moose, and to compare two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). National surveys of antibodies...
