Using DNA obtained from (40) blood samples, (60) vaginal swabs and ticks (120) samples. Real-time PCR was used to detect the <jats:italic>IS1111<\/jats:italic> insertion sequence of <jats:italic>Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic> in aborted animals. Among 40 blood samples only one sample of the camel was found to be infected with an overall prevalence of 2.5\u202f%. The highest prevalence (10\u202f%) was recorded in AL-Laith in one camel blood sample out of 10 samples examined. Of 60 vaginal swabs examined for <jats:italic>C.\u00a0burnetii<\/jats:italic> DNA, four samples were found to be infected with an overall prevalence of 6.6\u202f%. The highest prevalence (10\u202f%) was recorded in Makkah in two camel vaginal swabs out of 20 samples, followed by Jeddah and AL-Laith with a prevalence of (5.6\u202f%) by detection of one sample positive out of 18 samples on each of them, while vaginal swabs from AL-Kamil were negative. Three types of ticks were identified <jats:italic>Hyalomma dromedarii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Hyalomma anatolicum,<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Hyalomma excavatum. H. dromedarii<\/jats:italic> tick is the most common in aborted camels with a prevalence (6.7\u202f%) in Makkah followed by Jeddah (5\u202f%). The findings of this study revealed that <jats:italic>C.\u00a0burnetii<\/jats:italic> infection is prevalent in agricultural animals especially camels and ticks maintained at livestock farms in Makkah Province. However, these animals and ticks may pass on <jats:italic>C.\u00a0burnetii<\/jats:italic> infections to nearby people and other animals in the study area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/znc-2024-0126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]],"date-time":"2024-10-22T19:50:11Z","timestamp":1729626611000},"page":"275-284","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Molecular detection of <i>Coxiella burnetii<\/i> infection (Q fever) in livestock in Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"Hassan M.","family":"Baroom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science , 37848 King Abdulaziz University , P.O.
