| Abstract | ||
| This survey was conducted to identify of C.burnetiis genome in camel population in northeast of Iran. The 167 camels in 11 epidemiological units of study area (Razavi, South and North Khorashan provinces) were selected by random multi-stage cluster sampling. In total, 4 of 167 camels whole blood samples which examined with qPCR were positive 2.4 % (0.1-4.7 %- 0.95 % CI). The results of this study indicated that there was not significant difference in factors (age, sex and sampling regions) for incidence of infection. This study showed detection of genome of C.burnetiiin whole blood samples of camels. Considering the economic, zoonotic and public health importance of Q fever, percussion measures are to be implemented to prevent spreading of C.burnetii and zeroing the risk of Q fever in animals and human (especially those who are at risk) in this agro- ecologically and geo- politically important region of Iran. | ||
