Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of Q fever and its association with age and gender among Saanen dairy goats in Malaysia.

Materials and methods: One hundred dairy goats (n = 100) aged 6 months to 6 years were randomly selected, and blood samples were collected for serological analysis using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique.

Results: The results revealed a seropositive rate of 70% among the goats, with medium-positive titers being the most common. The prevalence of Q fever varied among different age groups, with higher rates observed in adult goats aged between 5 and 6 years. Gender analysis showed that males had a higher positive rate (p < 0.05) of Q fever compared to females.

Conclusion: These findings strongly indicate the presence of Coxiella burnetii in the dairy goat population and highlight the importance of implementing biosecurity measures and control strategies to prevent further transmission of this disease. This research has contributed to a better understanding of Q fever epidemiology and provides insights for effective control and prevention strategies in dairy goat populations.

马来西亚 Besut 地区奶山羊 Q 热感染的检测和血清流行率。

目的：本研究旨在调查马来西亚萨能奶山羊 Q 热血清流行率及其与年龄和性别的关系：本研究旨在调查马来西亚萨能奶山羊的Q热血清流行率及其与年龄和性别的关系：随机选取 100 只年龄在 6 个月至 6 岁之间的奶山羊（n = 100），采集血液样本，使用酶联免疫吸附测定技术进行血清学分析：结果显示，山羊血清阳性率为 70%，其中以中等滴度阳性最为常见。不同年龄组的山羊Q热发病率不同，5至6岁的成年山羊发病率较高。性别分析表明，与雌性山羊相比，雄性山羊的 Q 热阳性率更高（p < 0.05）：这些发现有力地表明了奶山羊群体中存在烧伤柯西氏菌，并强调了实施生物安全措施和控制策略以防止该疾病进一步传播的重要性。这项研究有助于更好地了解Q热的流行病学，并为在奶山羊群体中实施有效的控制和预防策略提供了见解。
