摘要：

Dairy cattle are a primary reservoir of Coxiella burnetii, which causes Q fever. However, no recent nationwide studies have assessed the prevalence and risks of Q fever in dairy cattle. We report >= 94% prevalence in samples of bulk tank milk from U.S. dairy herds tested during the past 3 years.
