We used an indirect immunofluorescence assay to determine antibody titers to phase I and phase II Coxiella burnetii antigens in serum samples from a variety of wild animals in Nova Scotia. Forty-nine percent of the hares, 16.5% of the moose, 7.1% of the raccoons, and 1.5% of the white-tailed deer tested had antibodies to phase I antigen. We conclude that there is extensive infection of the hare population by C. burnetii, with lesser degrees of infection of the moose, raccoon, and deer population.
我们采用间接免疫荧光测定法，以确定新斯科舍省多种野生动物血清样本中针对Ⅰ相和Ⅱ相伯纳特立克次体抗原的抗体滴度。检测的野兔中有49%、驼鹿中有16.5%、浣熊中有7.1%以及白尾鹿中有1.5%对Ⅰ相抗原具有抗体。我们得出结论，野兔群体受到伯纳特立克次体的广泛感染，而驼鹿、浣熊和鹿群体的感染程度较低。
