Abstract

Seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii in cattle and goats from southern region of Korea was analyzed. From January to December 2020, 1,409 samples of bulk-tank milk, cattle serum and goat serum were collected and analyzed using ELISA. The prevalence of antibodies in collected was 72.6% (501/682), 4.1% (21/515) and 10.4% (22/212). By age, the seroprevalence of cattle was 2.4%, 4.1%, 5.3% (<2 years, 2~5 years, ≥6 years). In bulk-tank milk of dairy cattle according to region was Gyeongnam 45.5%, Gyeongbuk 77.5%, Daegu 70.0%, Jeonnam 50.0% and Chungbuk 50.0%. And seroprevalence of goats was 10.4% (22/212).
