摘要：

At present few studies have been carried out on the distribution and incidence of Coxiella burnetii infection in wildlife. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of C burnetii in the main wild species in the Basque Country (Northern Spain), such as carnivores, cervids, wild boar, lagomorphs and several species of birds. Tissues from a total of 601 animals and 340 adult ticks collected from them were analyzed by PCR. DNA of C. burnetii was detected in 5.1% of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), 4.3% of wild boar (Sus scrota), 9.1% of European hare (Lepus europaeus), and among wild birds, in 11% of vultures (Gyps fulvus)and 14% of black kites (Milvus migrans). These results showed that C burnetii circulates in wildlife in Spain participating in the cycle of Q fever in nature. All of the adult ticks analyzed were negative for C burnetii, suggesting that ticks do not play an important role in the transmission of C. burnetii in this area. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
