The Occurrence of Coxiella Burnetii, Brucella, and other Pathogens among Fauna of the Great Salt Lake Desert in Utah*

Herbert G. Stoenner{dagger}, Robert Holdenried{ddagger}, David Lackman{dagger} AND John S. Orsborn, Jr.**

Strains of Coxiella burnetii were isolated from Dipodomys ordii, D. microps, Peromyscus maniculatus, and Dermacentor parumapertus collected in the Great Salt Lake Desert in Utah. In addition, antibodies against C. burnetii were found in serums of Lepus californicus, Onychomys leucogaster, and Eutamias minimus. Other organisms enzootic in fauna in this area were Rickettsia rickettsii, Brucella neotomae, Br. suis, Pasteurella tularensis, P. pestis, and Arizona group (Paracolon).
