Serological prevalence of Coxiella burnetii in captive wild ruminants in Saudi Arabia
Comparative Clinical Pathology(2010)
摘要
Serum samples from sand gazelles ( n = 227), mountain gazelles ( n = 232), and Arabian oryx ( n = 96) reared in captivity in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were tested for the presence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies using an indirect enzyme immunoassay. C. burnetii antibodies were present in 18.3%, 7.3%, and 46.9% of these animals, respectively. The difference in serological prevalence between the three species was statistically significant. Age- and sex-related differences in prevalence were also observed. This study is the first record of C. burnetii antibodies in Arabian gazelles.
