Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Q Fever Treatment with Oxytetracycline
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Q fever treatment with oxytetracycline based on the level of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in the sera of infected goats and cows, and excretion of Coxiella burnetii in milk. The study was performed in naturally infected goats and cattle. Fort...
