Q fever is caused by Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular parasite which causes abortion and reproductive disorders in domestic animals and febrile illness in man. Earlier studies have detected C. burnetii,including serum antibodies in humans, cattle, sheep and goats in Malaysia. However, the overall seroprevalence status and contributing factors of Q fever among small ruminants in Malaysia are still unexplained. This study was therefore conducted to investigate the seroprevalence and risk factors of Q fever among small ruminant flocksin Negeri Sembilan and Terengganu states. To determine the seroprevalence of Q fever among small ruminants, we collected blood samples from a …

Background: Bacterial infections are one of the most important issues in public health and could lead to deathin many countries. Molecular methods for detection of these serious infections are fast and reliable, but there isa problem for the diagnosis of some cases of infectious agents, like high-virulence bacteria or rarely foundsbacteria. Therefore, designing plasmid DNA construct as positive control is a smart way to solve the diagnosisproblem in these cases.Objectives: The aim of this work was to design and generate a construct to be used as positive control foramplification in the molecular detection assay of Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetti).Methods: A …
