seroprevalence of coxiella burnetii in selected populations of domestic ruminants in newfoundland. | the seroprevalence of coxiella burnetii among cattle, sheep, and goats in newfoundland was determined by microimmunofluorescence. seropositivity to phase ii antigen increased in sheep from 3.1% in 1997 to 23.5% in 1999-2000 (p < 0.001). cows (24%) had antibodies to phase i antigen; goats (15.6%) had antibodies to phase ii antigen. seroprevalence of c. burnetii is increasing among sheep. | 2002 | 12001502 |
