摘要: Objective: Investigate the seroprevalence of causative agent Q fever, Coxiella burnetii in domestic dogs Townsville region, North Queensland, Australia. Method: Blood samples were collected from attending veterinary clinics for routine procedures. Results: An overall seropositivity 21.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 21.6–22.1%) was observed. A retrospective study same region during 1984–85 also performed, with an 16.0% CI 15.9–16.2). Conclusion: Evidence C. infection may have public health implications dog owners, as well veterinarians because occupational exposure. This is first known investigation Queensland.
