| Abstract | ||
| Preliminary investigations are vital for establishing the necessary steps for more extensive studies. This study aimed to investigate the evidence of immune responses to Coxiella burnetii in cattle (Bos taurus) found in Mosul City, Iraq. To achieve this objective, we examined serum samples from 46 cattle collected from different regions in Mosul using a bovine IgG sandwich-ELISA kit. The study identified 2/46 (4.3 %) positive samples and 31/46 (67.4 %) equivocal. In conclusion, C. burnetii infection is evident in cattle in Mosul City. Future studies must thoroughly examine the epidemiological factors associated with coxiellosis in cattle in Mosul. | ||
