Aproximately 400 samples of milk is this autumn processed for Q-fever. None of the samples are positive. The programme is a joint effort between the National Veterinary Institute and producer-organizations.
Q-fever can cause abortions and reproductive problems in ruminants. Humans can also be infected with the disease. The symptoms are similar to influenza.
