Detection of anti-coxiella brunetii
antibody in milk samples of goats with a history of abortion, Onl J Vet Res., 16 (6): 301, 2012. Coxiella
burnetii an obligate intracellular microorganism,
causes Q fever in humans and animals. Anti-C. burnetii
antibody in goat
milk samples from clinically healthy (30) or with a history of abortion (30) were detected with a Q fever
antibody ELISA test. Antibody was detected in 19 goats with a history of abortion and in 12
healthy goats. There was no significant difference between groups. Results suggest that goat milk could be a source of C. burnetii infection for humans.
Key-words: C Burnetti,
antibody, milk, goat.
