After simultaneous aerogenic and alimentary infection of quail by intra-nasal inoculation of a suspension of C. burnetii, the agent was reisolated 6 h after infection from lung and gut, from the 3rd day on from the spleen, at the 8th and 10th day from blood, and from the 8th day on from liver and kidney. C.burnetii was found in various organs up to 21 days after infection. In the majority of birds agglutinating antibodies could be demonstrated from the 18th day up to termination of the experiment 66 days after infection. On the basis of these results the course of a C. burnetii infection in birds is discussed.
通过鼻内接种伯氏考克斯氏体悬浮液对鹌鹑进行气源性和经口同时感染后，感染后6小时可从肺和肠道重新分离出该病原体，从第3天起可从脾脏分离出，第8天和第10天可从血液中分离出，从第8天起可从肝脏和肾脏中分离出。感染后长达21天在各种器官中都能发现伯氏考克斯氏体。在大多数鸟类中，从感染后第18天直至实验结束（感染后66天）都能检测到凝集抗体。基于这些结果，对鸟类中伯氏考克斯氏体感染的过程进行了讨论。
