- Abstract
Q fever is worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii with ruminant as the main reservoir for human infection. These bacteria could persist in environment for months due to their capability to form spore like-bacteria. Human could be infected by Coxiella burnetii through inhalation or ingestion. Report of Coxiella burnetii infection in ruminant in East Java, Indonesia is still scanty. Previous research revealed that this bacteria were detected in various type of ruminant in some region in Indonesia but not in Malang region in East Java which known as one of the highest ruminant population. Visceral samples consist of heart, lung, spleen, kidney and liver from 30 cows and 78 goats were taken from abattoirs in Malang East Java. Nested PCR with OMP primers used to screen the existence of Coxiella burnetii and showed that only 10 (8 lungs, 1 liver, and 1 kidney) samples from 78 goat (12.8%) were detected positive. Further examination for all positive samples by nested PCR using 16S rRNA gene noted that sequence from local goat in Malang have close relation with Coxiella burnetii isolate sequence from various host and country. This result indicated that Coxiella burnetii detected in local goat in Malang, East Java, Indonesia have molecular similarity with some established strain before, but it still need further examination.
