This study was undertaken to investigate the seroprevalence and seroreactivity of Q fever and the risk factors associated with its seroprevalence among workers in the veterinary service laboratory (VSL) in South Korea. This seroepidemiologic study was conducted in a total of 661 human subjects out of 1,328 subjects working in 50 VSL existing in South Korea between July 15 and July 29, 2019. Data were collected by administering survey questionnaires and by analyzing collected blood samples to determine the presence of antibodies against <jats:italic>Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic>. The seroprevalence and seroreactivity of <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>burnetii<\/jats:italic> infection were determined based on serum titers as (phase II IgG \u22651:256 and\/or IgM \u22651:16) and (phase II IgG \u22651:16 and\/or IgM \u22651:16) as determined by indirect immunofluorescent assay. Work, work environment, behavioral risk and protective factors associated with seroprevalence of Q fever were assessed by employing multivariable logistic regression analysis. Among the 661, the seroprevalence and seroreactivity of <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>burnetii<\/jats:italic> infection were 7.9% and 16.0%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the risk factors significantly associated with seroprevalence were the antemortem inspection of cattle, goats, or sheep (APR (adjusted prevalence ratio), 2.52; 95% CI, 1.23\u20134.70)), animal blood splashed into or around eyes (APR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.04\u20134.41), and contact with animals having Q fever (APR, 6.58; 95% CI, 3.39\u201310.85) during the previous year. This study suggests the need for precautions when contact with cattle, goats, or sheep is expected, especially during the antemortem inspection, when dealing with <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>burnetii<\/jats:italic> infected animals, or when there is a risk of ocular contact with animal derivatives. Therefore, we recommend the consistent use of appropriate personal protective equipment and other protective measures including PPE treatment and washing of body surfaces after work to prevent <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>burnetii<\/jats:italic> infections among VSL staff in South Korea.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0010054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,2]],"date-time":"2022-02-02T18:29:10Z","timestamp":1643826550000},"page":"e0010054","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Seroepidemiologic
