Abstract
Q fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetti that is important not only for livestock but also for humans. This research aims to investigate infection rate of Q fever by examining the prevalence of antibody titers in cattle in Sejong City. From March to October 2018, 505 samples of Hanwoo serum and 47 samples of bulk-tank milk were collected and analyzed using ELISA. According to the result, 25 (53.2%) out of 47 bulk-tank milk samples were antibody positive and 28 (5.5%) out of 505 cows were antibody positive. The seroprevalence of C. burnetii increased with age (<1 y=0%, 1~2 y=4.1%, 3~5 y=7.5%, ≥6 y=9.6%) and was higher in females (6.5%) compared to males (0%).
