a

Harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardsi), harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), and Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) placentas were collected in the Pacific Northwest, USA.

b

The threshold cycle for quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting IS1111a or com1; undet. = undetermined; samples for which fluorescence did not cross the threshold after 40 cycles of PCR.

c

pos = sample stained with anti–C. burnetii murine hyperimmune ascites fluid; n.t. = not tested; neg = no staining detected.

d

Yes = sample showed evidence of placentitis based on H and E staining; no = no evidence of placentitis; n.t. = not tested.

e

pos = serum sample was positive in indirect fluorescent antibody test using anti-dog secondary reagent; n.t. = not tested; neg = negative indirect fluorescent antibody test.
