Background: • Q fever, known as coxiellosis in animals, represents a global zoonotic threat caused by the intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii). The disease affects many animal species, including those considered significant reservoirs, such as cattle, sheep and goats.

Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is an important zoonotic and public health concern worldwide. Kangaroos are thought to be a likely wildlife reservoir for C. burnetii in Australia and the kangaroo tick (Amblyomma triguttatum) has often been considered a vector.

Q fever is a disease caused by , which can cause serious illness in humans and abortions in goats. A Q fever outbreak among an unvaccinated goat herd led to a 65% loss of the kid crop in spring 2018. To assess the impact of the outbreak on the herd and environment, longitudinal surveillance of the ranch was conducted across three samplings in September 2018, April 2019, and May 2022.

Background: Q fever is a worldwide occurring neglected zoonotic disease with great economic importance. The etiological agent, is a bacterium usually associated with subclinical infections in livestock, but may also cause reproductive pathology and spontaneous abortions in artiodactyl species including goats, sheep and cattle which are deemed to be the primary reservoirs of this disease.
Aims: The present cross-sectional and questionnaire survey was undertaken in three districts of the South Omo zone with the aims to comprehend the community perception of livestock keepers and professionals about the disease, estimate the seroprevalence of () in cattle and small ruminants and to determine the species of potential tick vectors of infesting cattle, sheep and goats.
Prevalence and risk factors of coxiellosis in meat goat herds: an epidemiological investigation in Northeastern Thailand.
Int J Vet Sci Med

Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed coxiellosis prevalence in 39 meat goat herds in northeastern Thailand, finding a high herd prevalence of 74.35% and significant reproductive issues in 84.61% of herds, indicating widespread infection.
- - Knowledge of coxiellosis transmission among herd owners acted as a protective factor, while longer-established herds (over 5 years) and reproductive failures (abortion, infertility) were key risk factors for infection at the herd level.
- - Individual risk factors included being female, crossbreeding, and showing symptoms of anemia, highlighting the need for specific control strategies to manage Q fever in these goat populations.
