Summary. The
aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii in small ruminants and cattle herds in different
regions of Poland. Complement fixation test was performed
on 1,200 serum samples collected from 449 cattle herds from
158 counties. Moreover, 1,287 samples of biological material from
180 cattle herds and 79 small ruminants
herds were tested using real-time PCR. Molecular analysis by revealed that
320 from 1,287 tested samples (24.87%) were positive. The average
rate of seropositive herds was 43.66%.
