Title: Serosurvey of four 'emerging' cattle diseases (Q-fever, Neosporosis, Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis) in Northern-Belgian dairy herds using bulk-milk samples

Diseases included were Q-fever, Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis and finally Neosporosis. All infections primarily have a negative repercussion on fertility in cattle (e.g. through abortions), although other clinical appearances (e.g. MASTITIS, general illness and mortality etc.) are also possible. Coxiella, Leptospira and Salmonella moreover have a zoonotic importance. Therefore, accurate knowledge on the distribution of these infections is necessary.Read More
