| Sumario: | Q fever is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. It is usually associated with contact with cattle, sheep and goats, and in urban areas highlights the importance of dogs and cats, in its transmission. There are few studies of prevalence in dogs from Argentina, so we conducted a serological survey for C. burnetii in domestic dogs from different poor neighborhoods of the Buenos Aires. IgG titers were determined by indirect immunofluorescence in a total of 123 serums. A 15.4% of the dogs tested positive at a titer ? 1/50, of which only a 2.4 % presented titers ? 1/200. These results suggest the circulation of this pathogen in the analyzed population. It is necessary to extend this study to other areas of CABA and of Argentina, and to assess the possible infection sources of animals. |
