| a serologic survey for some bacterial and viral zoonoses in game animals in the czech republic. | between 1986 and 1991, sera were collected from 33 roe deer (capreolus capreolus), 24 red deer (cervus elaphus), four fallow deer (dama dama), two mouflon (ovis musimon), 34 wild boars (sus scrofa), and 48 hares (lepus europaeus) shot in two areas of the czech republic. collectively, the sera contained antibodies to coxiella burnetii (prevalence of 12%), francisella tularensis (4%), brucella spp. (2%), central european tick-borne encephalitis virus (8%), tahyna (california serogroup) virus (36%) ... | 1993 | 8258864 |
| molecular investigation of the occurrence of coxiella burnetii in wildlife and ticks in an endemic area. | at present few studies have been carried out on the distribution and incidence of coxiella burnetii infection in wildlife. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of c. burnetii in the main wild species in the basque country (northern spain), such as carnivores, cervids, wild boar, lagomorphs and several species of birds. tissues from a total of 601 animals and 340 adult ticks collected from them were analyzed by pcr. dna of c. burnetii was detected in 5.1% of roe de ... | 2011 | 20580169 |
| serologic screening for 13 infectious agents in roe deer (capreolus capreolus) in flanders. | in order to investigate the role of roe deer in the maintenance and transmission of infectious animal and human diseases in flanders, we conducted a serologic screening in 12 hunting areas. | 2015 | 26609692 |
| acute q fever infection in thuringia, germany, after burial of roe deer fawn cadavers (capreolus capreolus): a case report. | we report on a case of a 48-year-old man who presented with acute q fever infection after burying two fawn cadavers (capreolus capreolus). recent outbreaks of q fever in europe have been traced back to intensive goat breeding units, sheep flocks in the proximity of highly populated urban areas or to farmed deer. to our knowledge, this is the first case report describing q fever infection in a human linked to roe deer as a source of infection. | 2015 | 26566445 |
| serological survey of coxiella burnetii at the wildlife-livestock interface in the eastern pyrenees, spain. | coxiella burnetii is a zoonotic bacterium that infects a wide range of animal species and causes the disease q fever. both wild and domestic ruminants may be relevant in the epidemiology of c. burnetii infection. in order to investigate the significance of the ruminant host community in the alpine and subalpine ecosystems of the eastern pyrenees, northeastern spain, in the epidemiology of q fever, a serological survey was performed on samples from 599 wild and 353 sympatric domestic ruminants. | 2016 | 27121001 |
| pathogens of zoonotic and biological importance in roe deer (capreolus capreolus): seroprevalence in an agro-system population in france. | antibody prevalence for several infectious and parasitic diseases in a population of roe deer (capreolus capreolus) inhabiting a mixed agricultural landscape (south of france) has been analyzed. serological analyses with elisa in 245 animals captured from 2008 to 2012 has been performed. we found a high prevalence of toxoplasma gondii (46.4%), chlamydophila abortus (17.27%) and coxiella burnetii (11.26%) compared to other studies in europe. seroprevalence varied strongly among years for t. gondi ... | 2014 | 24576494 |
| wide exposure to coxiella burnetii in ruminant and feline species living in a natural environment: zoonoses in a human-livestock-wildlife interface. | assessment of the role of wild and domestic hosts as potential reservoirs of misdiagnosed zoonoses, such as q fever by coxiella burnetii, is an important public health issue today both for wildlife conservation and management of disease in human-livestock-wildlife interface. this study used elisa, an indirect antibody, to research (2003-2013) c. burnetii infection in seven free-living wild and domestic ruminant species and in european wildcats (felis silvestris). the animals studied were 0 europ ... | 2017 | 27776577 |
