The aim of the present work is a study of the dynamics of the complement fixing antibodies (1 phase) in sheep and cattle after experimental and spontaneous infection with Coxiella burnetii. The results are used to explain their importance in the serological diagnostics of Q-fever. In the complement fixation test (CFT) are used 1- and 2-phase Henserling antigens. Blood sera from sheep and cows are examined during a period of 18 months.The results show that the CF-antibodies against C. burnetii 1-phase antigen appear on to 7-19-day post infection and hold back up for at least five years(observation term). The parallel testing of bovine and ovine sera using 1-and 2-phase antigens can be used for finding out of active Q-fever foci.
