We studied the role of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) as a reservoir for Coxiella burnetii in the Iberian region. High individual and population seroprevalences observed in wild and farmed rabbits, evidence of systemic infections, and vaginal shedding support the reservoir role of the European rabbit for C. burnetii.
我们研究了欧洲兔(穴兔)作为伊比利亚地区伯氏考克斯氏体储存宿主的作用。在野生和养殖兔中观察到的高个体和群体血清阳性率、全身感染的证据以及阴道排菌现象,均支持欧洲兔作为伯氏考克斯氏体储存宿主的作用。
