[Incidence of Coxiella burnetii and Rickettsiae from the RMSF group in the sub-Alpine region in Austria].
Investigations were carried out on small mammals to determine further distribution of Coxiella burnetii and Rickettsia RMSF-group in the Alpine and sub-Alpine regions. In altitudes of 1,200-2,400 m antibodies against Clethrionomys glareolus, Apodemus flavicollis, Sorex alpinus, Sorex minutus and Microtus agrestis were demonstrated. These findings emphasize that in the entire Alpine and sub-Alpine regions of Austria the occurrence of C. burnetii and RMSF-group rickettsia is to be expected.
