Prevalence of antibodies against Coxiella burnetii and C. burnetii DNA in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) at sampling location LO, Iberian Peninsula. A) Antibodies; B) DNA in spleen; C) DNA in vaginal swab specimen; D) DNA in uterine swab specimen; E) DNA in uterus; F) DNA in reproductive tract (vaginal swab specimen, uterine swab specimen, uterus). Gray bars indicate seroprevalence. St_P indicates results for sites with ruminants (sites A and B); no ruminants were present at site C. Va

Figure 2. Prevalence of antibodies against Coxiella burnetii and C. burnetii DNA in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) at sampling location LO, Iberian Peninsula. A) Antibodies; B) DNA in spleen; C) DNA in vaginal swab specimen; D) DNA in uterine swab specimen; E) DNA in uterus; F) DNA in reproductive tract (vaginal swab specimen, uterine swab specimen, uterus). Gray bars indicate seroprevalence. St_P indicates results for sites with ruminants (sites A and B); no ruminants were present at site C. Values at the top of bars indicate number of samples, and values at the bottom of bars indicate number of positive samples. Error bars indicate prevalence-associated exact 95% CIs.
