Environmental bulk, sponge, and vacuum samples were collected on farm 5 in June 2011 and May 2012. Air samples were collected in May 2012. Genomic DNA was extracted from the samples and tested for the presence of C. burnetii DNA by quantitative PCR. The graph shows the number of genome equivalents per gram for each positive bulk and vacuum sample, the number of genome equivalents per sponge for each sponge sample, and the number of genome equivalents per 500 liters for the air samples.
