This study was carried out in Kalubia Governoment rate from April 1997 to March 1998 to investigate the occurrence of IgG antibodies against Coxiella burnetii phase JI in dairy cows and human contacts using indirect immuofluorescent technique. A total of 200 blood sera and 100 milk sera were collected from dairy cows. As well as 200 blood sera from veterinarians, animal attendants and farmers. The occurrence of IgG antibodies against Q. fever was 26 % and 62 % in blood sera and milk sera of dairy cows respectively. 85 (42.5 %) in humans react positively against Coxiella burnetii phase II antigen. 44 %, 46.6 % and 39 % were positive in veterinarians, animal attendants and farmers; respectively.
