The symptoms of Q fever may include a self-limiting febrile illness, pneumonia, endocarditis, or hepatitis. Infections are classified as either acute or persistent. Cattle, sheep, and goats are the most prevalent reservoir animals for this zoonosis. This research was conducted to identify <em>C. burnetii</em> using transposable and isocitrate dehydrogenase genes (<em>IS1111</em>, <em>icd</em>) and <em>QpH1</em> plasmids. A total of 142 samples of raw buffalo and cow milk were collected from various locations within the West Azerbaijan region (see map). We used \"nested\" PCR techniques using primers based on the <em>IS1111</em> and <em>icd</em> genes of <em>C. burnetii</em>, as well as conserved and variable portions of plasmid sequences, to identify <em>C. burnetii</em> and their plasmids in milk samples from buffalo and calves. Out of 142 milk samples that were positive for the chromosomal transposable genes (<em>IS1111</em> and <em>icd</em>) at a rate of 16.9 percent (95 percent CI: 14.5 percent to 19.6 percent) and 7.1 % (95 percent CI: 5.59 percent to 9.08 percent), respectively, 86 samples were positive for the <em>QpH1</em> plasmid at a rate of 60.5 percent (95 percent CI: 52.35 percent to 68.2 percent). Based on a phylogenetic study of the <em>icd</em> and <em>QpH1</em> genes, the majority of the isolates had a similarity of 99.45–99.9 percent.

This study examines the impact of malaria in eastern DR Congo, where armed conflict and humanitarian crises have resulted in overcrowded refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, exacerbating malaria transmission. Malnutrition, limited access to healthcare, and poor living conditions makes children under the age of five particularly vulnerable. Despite attempts by organizations such as the World Health Organization and various non-governmental organizations to supply insecticide-treated bed nets and antimalarial drugs, implementation in refugee camps is impeded by war, resource constraints, and insufficient healthcare facilities. A focused elimination approach that includes integrated vector control, enhanced diagnostic access, healthcare professional training, and community engagement is critical. Surveillance and research are critical for determining malaria prevalence and resistance patterns. Effective malaria treatment in refugee camps necessitates broad strategies to protect vulnerable children and lower disease burdens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38074,"journal":{"name":"New Microbes and New Infections","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101508"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
