Abstract	Q fever in humans is caused by Coxiella (C.) burnetii. In 2008 and 2012, cases of Q fever in humans were linked to an infected flock of approximately 650 ewes. Since 2013 gimmers (G'13, G'14, G'15 etc.) were primary vaccinated (two doses) with an inactivated C.burnetii vaccine without any revaccination. In 2013, 30 ewes were primary vaccinated (A'13). Shedding was annually monitored by qPCR-testing of vaginal and nasal swabs collected at lambing. Animals were tested for Phase I- (PhI) and PhII-antibodies (Ab) and for PhII-specific-interferon-γ (IFN-γ) before and after vaccination. The effect of a revaccination was determined in 2018 and 2023. Groups of randomly selected gimmers primary vaccinated in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and a mixed group of older animals (A'13, G'13 and G'14) were revaccinated once in 2018. The trial was repeated in 2023 on groups primary vaccinated in 2019-2023. Major shedding after the outbreak in 2012 ceased in 2014. Thereafter C.burnetii was only sporadically detected at low-level in 2018, 2021 and 2023. Sheep naturally exposed to C.burnetii during the outbreak in 2012 (A'13, G'13) mounted a strong and complete (PhI, PhII, IFN-γ) recall immune response after vaccination. A serological PhI

Abstract	Coxiella (C.) burnetii, a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium, causes Q fever in humans and Coxiellosis in animals. Ruminants are a primary source of human infection with C.burnetii. In 2013, vaccination was implemented in a sheep flock with 650 ewes associated with two outbreaks of Q fever in humans in 2008 and 2012. Only gimmers (yearlings) received two doses of a commercial C.burnetii phase I whole cell vaccine three weeks apart (primary vaccination) without any revaccination. Vaginal and nasal swabs collected shortly after lambing were tested by qPCR. Additionally, a group of non-vaccinated sentinels was serologically monitored for phase I (PhI), II (PhII) antibodies and for Interferon γ (IFN-γ) after stimulation of whole blood cells with PhII-antigen with and without an IL-10-neutralizing monoclonal antibody. In 2021, 679 sera collected in 2014–2021 were retested retrospectively with three commercial ELISA kits and one batch of an in-house PhI/PhII-ELISA. A low-level shedding of C.burnetii (<10³ mean C.burnetii/swab) was observed until 2014. In 2021 C.burnetii was detected in two animals (<10³.¹C.burnetii/swab), but vaginal swabs collected at two subsequent lambing seasons remained negative. Seroconversion of sentinels was detected until 2017. However, the retrospective analysis of sentinels in 2021 revealed additional single seropositive animals from 2018 to 2021. IFN-γ reactivity was observed during the whole study period; it peaked in 2014 and in 2018 and decreased thereafter. The sporadic detection of C.burnetii and the immune responses of sentinels suggested that a subliminal infection persisted despite vaccination. Nevertheless, vaccination of gimmers prevented the development of a major outbreak, it controlled the infection and reduced the risk of human infection.

Abstract	Seit 2007 wird bei Kälbern in ganz Deutschland eine neue, meist tödlich verlaufende hämorrhagische Diathese beobachtet. Die Erkrankung wurde anhand von 56 Sektionsfällen charakterisiert. Die Kälber erkrankten durchweg im ersten Lebensmonat. Es handelte sich in der Regel um Einzeltiererkrankungen, wobei verschiedene Rassen und Tiere beiderlei Geschlechts betroffen waren. Hauptbefunde bei allen Tieren waren massive Blutungen, die vornehmlich in Haut, Unterhaut und im Gastrointestinaltrakt zu finden waren. Histologisch wurde immer eine hochgradige Hypo- bis Atrophie des Knochenmarks festgestellt. Zusätzlich konnten eine Lymphozytendepletion (43 %) und entzündliche Veränderungen (bei 46 % der Tiere) beobachtet werden. Blutanalysen von fünf Tieren zeigten eine aplastische Anämie. Damit wird dieses Hämorrhagische Diathese Syndrom (HDS) hauptsächlich durch eine Thrombozytopenie verursacht. [...] (Quelle: Verlag).

Title translation	The PRRSV-serumneutralization test detects gaps in herd immunity.
Abstract	Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) appears in two genotypes (EU and US), for both genotypes attenuated live-vaccines are available. A cross-sectional study in 38 Bavarian sow herds was performed to assess the level of neutralizing antibodies. Per herd 38 blood samples were collected (10 weaned piglets, 10 gilts and 6 sows of 1./2., 3J4. and 5/6. parity, respectively). Sera were tested by ELISA, serumneutralization test (SNT) against EU- and US-vaccine virus, and pooled sera were tested by real-time RT-PCR. Herds were classified by the last vaccination of sows as "Vacc EU" "Vacc US"and "nv (non-vaccinated) and by detection of PRRSV-US and vaccination of piglets were not included as variables. Sows of group (2) Vacc EU/EU- showed the highest EU-SNT-titers irrespective of parity. Groups (5) Vacc US/EU+ and (1) Vacc EU/EU+ followed in descending order. Significantly lower SNT-titers in (1) Vacc EU/EU+ were especially observed in sows of 1/2. Parity (Kruskal-Wallis, p < 0.05). Very low SNT-titers were observed in the three remaining groups (3) nv/EU+, (4) nv/EU- and (6) Vacc US/EU-. In US-vaccinated herds detection of PRRSV-EU coincided with strong ELISA-reactivity in all animal groups. In EU-vaccinated herds this was only observed for weaned piglets. Sows showed a strong ELISA-reactivity irrespective of detection of PRRSV-EU. The value of the ELISA is restricted to the certification of PRRSV-free herds. The EU-SNT reflects the level of herd immunity at least against vaccine virus; it indicates gaps in herd immunity.

Abstract	C. burnetii infection might be associated with puerperal shedding; additionally, the chronic shedding of this pathogen in milk has been observed in individual animals. A longitudinal survey was performed in an endemically infected dairy cow herd with 100 cows in order to compare phase-specific milk-serology with pathogen shedding. From March 2010 through December 2011, 870 individual milk samples from 212 cows were analysed using both quantitative (q) PCR and phase-specific antibody-ELISA. The mean milk-shedding/cow was calculated for 137 cows with > or = 3 milk samples per cow. In addition, 110 puerperal swabs were collected after August 2010. The cows yielding three successive qPCR-positive milk samples or > 3 qPCR-positive milk samples, irrespective of the sequence of positive/negative results, were classified as chronic shedders (CS). Milk shedding was observed during the entire study, but a major period of puerperal shedding occurred from February through October 2011; 35/52 swabs tested positive, whereas only 3/58 swabs collected outside this period were positive. The PhI/PhII(+)-pattern in primiparous cows (< 36 months old) was consistent with puerperal shedding in the herd, but not at the individual level. This pattern was observed in older cows, irrespective of the period of puerperal shedding. Four primiparous CS-cows showed low-level mean shedding < 100 C.b./ml milk, and the PhI-titre increased from negative or weakly positive to more than 500 at the end of the first lactation. Puerperal shedding during the second parturition was observed in three of these cows. Six multiparous CS-cows with mean shedding exceeding 100 C.b./ml milk were characterised with stable PhI-titres of > or = 500. The three available puerperal swabs tested negative. Only one multiparous CS-cow showed low-level shedding and a PhI-titre below 500 for the entire study. In conclusion, the PhI-/PhII(+)-pattern in primiparous cows indicated puerperal shedding at the herd level, and a PhI-titre > or = 500 is a suitable screening method for the detection of chronic shedding in milk.
