    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary epidemiology
    • Zoonotic disease surveillance
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • The Sumava region's ecosystem harbors various pathogens.
    • Understanding pathogen prevalence in wildlife and domestic animals is crucial for public and animal health.
    • Previous data on specific zoonotic agents in this region was limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detect antibodies against Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia slovaca, and Chlamydia psittaci.
    • To assess the prevalence of these infections in diverse animal populations and humans.
    • To provide data supporting safe livestock farming practices.

    Main Methods:

    • Serological testing for antibodies.
    • Sampling of blood from small terrestrial mammals, larger wild animals, domestic animals, and humans.
    • Study conducted in the southern Sumava region between 1977 and 1982.

    Main Results:

    • Antibodies to Coxiella burnetii were detected.
    • Antibodies to Rickettsia slovaca were detected.
    • Antibodies to Chlamydia psittaci were detected across various animal species and human populations.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirmed the circulation of Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia slovaca, and Chlamydia psittaci in the southern Sumava region.
    • The findings provided essential epidemiological data for the region.
    • This information contributed to the safe development of livestock raising.
