The Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Animal Industry said they are swiftly addressing an outbreak of Q fever detected in imported goats at a government breeding station in Marinduque province.
Q fever, caused by zoonotic bacterium Coxiella burnetii, silently infects animals but can spread to humans through birthing products, urine, feces and milk. The BAI said it is actively tracing animals that may have come into contact with the infected goats, either at the breeding station or during transportation, ensuring no pockets of infection remain undetected.
