The study was conducted to detect the presence of Rickettsia spp. among cattle from selected farms in Cavite. One hundred cattle were sampled from different municipalities in Cavite through blood collection from the ear vein. Then after, the DNA was extracted using a commercially available DNA/RNA extraction kit with the mammalian actin gene serving as the internal control. The detection rate was correlated to different risk factors such as sex, age, type of operation, breed, topography of farm and acaricidal treatment. The result of the study suggested that Rickettsia spp. is not present in the areas of collection as shown in the PCR results.
