Serological evidence of infection with Coxiella burnetii was found in 41 (2%) of 1,951 domestic birds and in 167 (19%) of 863 wild birds from 17 and 5 prefectures in Japan, respectively, by microagglutination (MA) test. The bacteriological evidence of the infection was found in 17 (41%) of 41 domestic birds and 37 (22%) of 167 wild birds by the nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, C. burnetii was isolated from five each of serum, spleen and fecal specimens from five jungle crows…

Results suggest that, in the Canary Islands, C. burnetii develops in a peridomestic rather than a wild cycle.

The epidemiology of the disease along with seme characteristics of isotates of C. burnetii in Japan is summarized in five seclions, i,e,, eoxiellosis, Q fever, rnodes of spread of the ififection, laboratory diagnosis of the infection and some recent, unpublished data are included.

Results indicated that infestation of C. burnetii among cattle and chickens is considerably low in Thailand, and coxiella DNA was detected in two of 102 engorged Rhipicephalus microplus ticks attached to dairy cattle.

Birds may be involved in the epidemiology of infectious and/or parasitic diseases which affect mammals, including humans, and would act as carriers of infected ticks and, when Hepatozoon americanum is involved, as paratenic hosts, as well.

SURVEY OF Q-FEVER AGGLUTININS IN BIRDS AND SMALL RODENTS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, 1975–76 1
- Biology, Environmental ScienceJournal of wildlife diseases
- 1979
Serum samples from 15 species of rodents and 33 species of birds were tested for agglutinins against Coxiella burnetii by the microagglutination test and there was a tendency for the seropositive animals to have been collected in the vicinity of endemically infected livestock.
Isolation of Coxiella burnetii from Dairy Cattle and Ticks, and Some Characteristics of the Isolates in Japan

The results of isolation suggested a high prevalence of Coxiella infection in dairy cattle with reproductive problems in Japan and 12 strains suggested that these strains are associated with an acute form of Q fever.
Prevalence of antibodies to Coxiella burnetii in Japan

Antibody prevalence was high for healthy humans living in close contact with animals (e.g., veterinarians and meat-processing workers), and the rates differed forhealthy humans and respiratory-disorder patients.
Q-fever Antibodies in Birds 1

Serum samples were obtained from 307 birds collected on a sheep range and a nearby dairy farm in northern California and the birds with the highest antibody prevalence were the carrion eating birds and those birds that live and feed in close proximity to infected livestock.
Serological Evidence that the Q Fever Agent (Coxiella burnetii) Has Spread Widely among Dairy Cattle of Japan
- BiologyMicrobiology and immunology

The results suggest an increase in the number of infected cows with C. burnetii in Japan since 1954, and imply the possibility of the prevalence of acute Q fever in the human population, which had been underestimated and undiagnosed for the last three decades.

In the majority of birds agglutinating antibodies could be demonstrated from the 18th day up to termination of the experiment 66 days after infection, and C. burnetii was found in various organs up to 21 days after infections.

PCR was used to detect Coxiella burnetii DNA in paraffin-embedded tissues obtained from patients with chronic endocarditis in which the etiological agent had been unknown, and five samples from four patients were found to be positive.

The sero-epidemiology of Q-fever was studied by capillary agglutination test at 25 poultry farms in the Nainital and Ajmer districts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and the breed difference and comparatively high infection rates in poultry attendants of a Q-Fever-positive farm are discussed.

A gene library from the DNA of Coxiella burnetii has been constructed in the cosmid vector pHC79, and a particular clone reacted strongly withcoxiella-specific antibodies elicited in a number of different species of animals, suggesting it may serve as an efficacious vaccine against C. burningetii and other pathogenic microorganisms that express the conserved antigen.
