Investigation of Coxiella burnetii distribution in a Scottish dairy cattle herd with history of stillbirths

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 2, Page e61-e67, 17/24 January 2026.
Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii is a bacterial pathogen that can cause abortion and reproductive disease in livestock. In the UK, C. burnetii affects many dairy cattle herds, although the infection dynamics are poorly understood. Our study was performed to investigate infection patterns within a dairy cattle herd in Scotland that had experienced ...
