The sera of dogs, goats, sheep and cattle (total 153) from the Kastelas' bay area (middle part of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea) were tested for antibodies against Rickettsia conorii and Coxiella burnetii by a complement fixation test. The overall percentages of positive sera among the tested animals were 23.9% for R. conorii and 16.4% for C. burnetii. The results show that animals in this area are clearly being exposed to spotted fever group rickettsiae as well as to C. burnetii. For comparison, six sheep sera from the flock, living in known Q fever focus in hinterland area and linked with outbreak of Q fever among owners were tested. Antibodies to C. burnetii but not for R. conorii were present in all six sera.
对来自卡斯特拉斯湾地区（亚得里亚海东岸中部）的狗、山羊、绵羊和牛的血清（共153份）进行补体结合试验，检测抗康氏立克次体和伯氏考克斯氏体的抗体。在受试动物中，抗康氏立克次体阳性血清的总体百分比为23.9%，抗伯氏考克斯氏体阳性血清的总体百分比为16.4%。结果表明，该地区的动物明显接触到斑点热群立克次体以及伯氏考克斯氏体。作为对照，检测了来自内陆已知Q热疫源地、且与主人中Q热暴发有关的一群羊中的6份血清。所有6份血清中均存在抗伯氏考克斯氏体的抗体，但不存在抗康氏立克次体的抗体。
