BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Q fever is a frequently occurring illness that is induced by the bacterium ) that can infect humans and various animals. It targets the macrophage cells in the tissues, and circulating monocytes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study was conducted between 2022 and 2023 in the West Azerbaijan and Ardabil provinces of northwestern Iran to examine the presence infection of . Specimens were obtained by swabbing from 140 mares (70 from each province) and 20 stallions (10 from each province) which were apparently healthy, and their DNA was analyzed using quantitative PCR assay detecting the element of the bacterium.
RESULTS
The findings indicated that a mere 0.625% of the examined specimens tested positive for . Among the entire set of specimens, a single female horse from the region of Ardabil was found to be the carrier of the bacterium.
CONCLUSION
This suggested that even though horses may not display any clinical symptoms, they can still harbor and contribute to its transmission. Therefore, the potential contribution of horses to Q fever transmission should be considered.
背景与目的
Q热是一种常见疾病，由可感染人类和多种动物的细菌引起。它以组织中的巨噬细胞和循环单核细胞为目标。
材料与方法
本研究于2022年至2023年在伊朗西北部的西阿塞拜疆省和阿尔达比勒省进行，以检测[细菌名称未给出]的感染情况。通过擦拭从140匹母马（每个省70匹）和20匹种马（每个省10匹）采集样本，这些马匹表面健康，使用检测该细菌[未提及的元素名称]的定量PCR分析法对其DNA进行分析。
结果
结果表明，仅0.625%的检测样本对[细菌名称未给出]呈阳性反应。在所有样本中，发现阿尔达比勒地区的一匹母马是该细菌的携带者。
结论
这表明，尽管马匹可能未表现出任何临床症状，但它们仍可能携带[细菌名称未给出]并导致其传播。因此，应考虑马匹对Q热传播的潜在影响。
