| seroepizootology of q fever in bulgaria during the last five years. | the work presents results of investigations on q fever seroepizootology in bulgaria during the last five years. these data are compared with the preceding period from 1950 to 1983. the basic method for investigation is complement fixation test. also used are immunofluorescence, agglutination reaction, cultivation and direct electron microscopy. in general 15,814 samples were tested. q fever positivity was foundin 10.08% of cattle, 20.44% of sheep, 10.17% of goats, 59.25% of dogs, 26.66% of magpi ... | 1989 | 2606169 |
| 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 |
| prevalence of coxiella burneti antibodies in wild ruminants in kaveeany zoo, kosice, eastern slovakia. | coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular agent that causes q fever in humans and animals. the most important reservoirs of c. burnetii in nature are small wild rodents, but infection was also demonstrated in other animals, including ruminants. samples of blood were obtained from 4 mouflons, 60 fallow deer, 9 cameroun goats, 8 carpathian goats, and 8 cameroun sheep living in a zoo. antibodies to phase i and phase ii c. burnetii antigens were determined in sera by elisa. antibody titres were ... | 2009 | 20054886 |

| tick-borne bacteria in mouflons and their ectoparasites in cyprus. | the cypriot mouflon (ovis orientalis ophion), a once almost extirpated species of wild sheep, is under strict surveillance because it can be threatened by likely transmission of pathogenic bacteria, such as anaplasma spp., rickettsia spp., and coxiella burnetii, primarily from domestic ungulates. we collected 77 blood samples from cypriot mouflons and 663 of their ectoparasites (rhipicephalus turanicus, rhipicephalus sanguineus, rhipicephalus bursa, hyalomma anatolicum excavatum, hyalomma margin ... | 2011 | 21441182 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| coxiella burnetii in wildlife and ticks in an endemic area. | ticks are considered to be a natural reservoir of coxiella burnetii and are responsible for the spread of infection in wild animals and for the transmission to domestic animals. more than 40 tick species are naturally infected with c. burnetii. in cyprus, few studies have been carried out on the distribution and incidence of c. burnetii infection in wildlife and the threat that infected wild animals pose to humans and domestic animals remains uncertain. | 2014 | 25163752 |
