The serological prevalence of Q fever in Mexico is unknown. A serological survey for Coxiella burnetii was undertaken on a randomly selected population of dairy cattle, beef cattle, goats and sheep flocks. Serological examination of animal sera for antibodies against Coxiella burnetii was carried out by the ELISA technique. The 28% of the dairy cattle and 10% of beef cattle examinated were antibody positive. Sera from goats and sheep also had antibodies against this rickettsia, 35% and 40% respectively.
墨西哥Q热的血清学流行情况尚不清楚。对随机选取的奶牛、肉牛、山羊和绵羊群体进行了伯氏考克斯体血清学调查。采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）技术对动物血清进行伯氏考克斯体抗体的血清学检测。检测的奶牛中有28%抗体呈阳性，肉牛中有10%抗体呈阳性。山羊和绵羊的血清中也有针对这种立克次氏体的抗体，分别为35%和40%。
