Description
Barbara Colitti and co-authors test lab-made antigens for finding a cattle disease in this 2025 study. The disease, Q fever, spreads from livestock to people. Blood tests that spot antibodies help find exposed animals and stop spread.
Store-bought tests use whole germ cells, which can blur results and need high-safety labs to make. The team built three parts of the germ, Coxiella burnetii, in recombinant form instead. They checked how well each part detects antibodies in cattle blood. Cleaner antigens could make tests both sharper and simpler to produce. The work serves farms and public health at once.
