Q fever Coxiella burnetii sheep seasonality seroprevalence ELISA fiebre Q Coxiella burnetii ovinos estacionalidad seroprevalencia ELISA This study investigates the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in sheep and examines the seasonal impact on Q fever distribution. A total of 253 blood samples from sheep in Bosnia and Herzegovina during summer and winter were used, and, the research employed ELISA testing for antibody detection. Findings revealed a significant seasonal variation in seroprevalence, with 41 positive cases identified: 37 in winter and 4 in summer, indicating a higher infection rate during colder months. Statistical analysis suggests a significant association (p<0.05) between season and infection rates; winter conditions, increased indoor density, and lambing activities may elevate transmission risks. These results underscore the importance of considering seasonal factors in Q fever management and surveillance in sheep, contributing to a better understanding of its epidemiology and informing public health strategies. The study highlights the need for further systemic-epidemiological research across different geographies and management practices to elucidate the full impact of seasonality on Q fever prevalence. El estudio evaluó la prevalencia de Coxiella burnetii en ovejas en Bosnia y Herzegovina durante las estaciones de verano e invierno y determino el impacto estacional en la distribución de la fiebre Q. Se utilizaron 253 muestras de sangre de ovejas para determinar la presencia de anticuerpos contra C. burnetii mediante de la prueba ELISA. Los hallazgos revelaron una variación estacional significativa en la seroprevalencia, con 41 casos positivos identificados: 37 en invierno y 4 en verano, lo que indica una mayor tasa de infección durante los meses más fríos. El análisis estadístico sugiere una asociación significativa entre la temporada y las tasas de infección (p<0,05). Las condiciones invernales, el aumento de la densidad interior y las actividades de parto pueden elevar los riesgos de transmisión. Los resultados subrayan la importancia de considerar los factores estacionales en el manejo y vigilancia de la fiebre Q en ovejas, contribuyendo a una mejor comprensión de su epidemiología e informando las estrategias de salud pública. El estudio destaca la necesidad de realizar más investigaciones epidemiológicas sistémicas en diferentes geografías y prácticas de gestión para dilucidar el impacto total de la estacionalidad en la prevalencia de la fiebre Q.
