There are few studies on (Cb) as a causative agent of Q fever in dairy products in Iran. The prevalence of Cb was studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in Kope (pot) cheese and cattle milk collected from West Azerbaijan province, Iran. A total number of 240 Kope cheese and 560 milk samples were collected during the year 2020. All samples were subjected to PCR based on transposable gene . The results showed that 12.50% (95.00% confidence interval (CI): 9.00 - 16.10%) of Kope cheese and 13.00% (95.00% CI: 10.00 - 17.30%) of milk samples were positive for Cb. There was a significant difference in cheese and milk contaminations with Cb among the defined age groups as well as regional and seasonal variations. It was concluded that Kope cheese and cattle milk are important sources of Cb and should be considered as important risk factors in the epidemiology of Q fever disease in public health.
关于伊朗乳制品中贝纳柯克斯体（Cb）作为Q热病原体的研究很少。采用聚合酶链反应（PCR）方法对从伊朗西阿塞拜疆省采集的科佩（罐）奶酪和牛乳中的Cb流行情况进行了研究。2020年共采集了240份科佩奶酪和560份牛奶样本。所有样本均基于转座基因进行PCR检测。结果显示，12.50%（95.00%置信区间（CI）：9.00 - 16.10%）的科佩奶酪和13.00%（95.00% CI：10.00 - 17.30%）的牛奶样本Cb呈阳性。在规定的年龄组以及区域和季节变化中，奶酪和牛奶受Cb污染存在显著差异。得出的结论是，科佩奶酪和牛乳是Cb的重要来源，应被视为公共卫生中Q热疾病流行病学的重要风险因素。
