Kju groznica u Vojvodini 2012 - 2018

Abstract

Zoonotic disease named Q fever is endemic in several regions of Serbia, with the highest frequency of occurence in Vojvodina, where epidemics appear from time to time. During the last five years, there were 4 epidemics registered in Serbia, from which 3 occurred in Vojvodina. More accurate study of the prevalence for Q fever in ruminants was done after the epidemics were registered, in the county of Srem and South Banat. Study on the prevalence of infection with Coxiellaburnetii in the population of wild ruminants, showed different prevalence in different municipalities and villages. The connection between the occurence of an epidemic with animals as possible reservoir of the disease is different and also variety of influences which can lead to the apperiance of the disease in humans, are different. Analysis of meteorologic influence in Srem and South Banat county to the occurrence of the disease, has shown a certain patern. Among the parameters that can influence the risk from spreading of the disease among domestic ruminants and public health risk, one should have in mind that also the non biological parameters like traffic, the influence of urban and economic impact.
