Detection of Coxiella burnetii by PCR in bulk tank milk samples from dairy caprine herds in southeast of Iran
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To use PCR for the detection of Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) in bulk tank milk samples collected from dairy caprine herds in southeast Iran. Methods: In the present study, 31 goat bulk milk from 31 dairy goat herds were tested for C. burnetii using trans-PCR assay. The animals which their milk samples collected for this study were clinically healthy. Results: In total, 5 of 31 (16.12%) goat milk samples were positive. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate clinically healthy dairy goats are important sources of C. burnetii infection in this area
