abstract

background: q fever is a zoonotic disease caused bycoxiella burnetii, a species of bacteria that is distributedworldwide. in cattle, coxiella burnetii infections are generallyasymptomatic but can also be associated with reproductivedisorders. objectives: the aim of this study was to achievemolecular detection of coxiella burnetii in dairy bovine milkfarms using nested pcr in qom province, iran. methods:from january to february 2011 (winter) and july to september2011(summer) a total of 100 bovine bulk milk samples wereequally collected from five areas of qom. the nested pcr assayused to screen for c. burnetii was designed from the nucleotidesequence of the com1 gene encodin a 27-kd outer membraneprotein (omp). results: in this study, 14% (14 of 100) of bulkmilk were positive. conclusions: these results support thehypothesis of high prevalence and endemic pattern of q fever inqom province of iran.

Detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Using a Nested RT-PCR Assay in Bulk Milk Samples of Dairy Cattle Herds in Suburb of Mashhad-Iran

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...

Prevalence 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...

Coxiella 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...

Presence of enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus in bulk tank milk from Argentine dairy farms.

Staphylococcus aureus is the most prevalent bovine mastitis pathogen in Argentina. The ability of this organism to produce enterotoxins is linked to staphylococcal food poisoning. Staphylococcal enterotoxins are low molecular weight proteins, highly resistant to heat and proteolytic enzyme activity. The aim of this study was to determine the ability to produce enterotoxins and types of enteroto...
