One hundred and thirty-four (26%) of 511 sera from 11 wild animal species in eight prefectures in Japan had antibody titers to Coxiella burnetii by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High prevalences were observed in Japanese black bears (Ursus thibetanus) (78%), Hokkaido deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) (69%), Japanese hares (Lepus brachyurus) (63%), Japanese deer (Cervus nippon centralis) (56%), and to some extent in Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) (28%). A low prevalence (13%) was observed in nutrias (Myocastor coypus). Japanese serows (Capricornis crispus), wild rats (Muroides sp.), raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), wild pigs (Sus scrofa leucomystax), and masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) had no detectable antibodies to C. burnetii. Thus, six of 11 wild animal species in Japan were exposed to C. burnetii. Based on the high prevalences in some species, they may be a potential source of infection to both domestic animal and human populations.
在日本八个县的11种野生动物的511份血清样本中，有134份（26%）通过酶联免疫吸附测定法检测出对伯纳特柯克斯体有抗体效价。在日本黑熊（Ursus thibetanus）中观察到高流行率（78%），北海道鹿（Cervus nippon yesoensis）（69%），日本野兔（Lepus brachyurus）（63%），日本鹿（Cervus nippon centralis）（56%），在某种程度上日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata）也有一定比例（28%）。在河狸鼠（Myocastor coypus）中观察到低流行率（13%）。日本鬣羚（Capricornis crispus）、野生大鼠（Muroides sp.）、貉（Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus）、野猪（Sus scrofa leucomystax）和果子狸（Paguma larvata）未检测到针对伯纳特柯克斯体的抗体。因此，日本11种野生动物中有6种接触过伯纳特柯克斯体。基于某些物种中的高流行率，它们可能是家畜和人类潜在的感染源。
