In the present study, 31 goat bulk milk from 31 dairy goat herds were tested for C. burnetii using trans-PCR assay. The animals which their milk samples collected for this study were clinically healthy. In total, 5 of 31 (16.12%) goat milk samples were positive. The results of this study indicate clinically healthy dairy goats are important sources of C. burnetii infection in this area.Read More
