Bacterial Puppeteering: How the Stealth Bacterium Coxiella Pulls the Cellular Strings [PDF]

Pathogens
Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a highly infectious pathogen capable of invading diverse cell types, from alveolar macrophages to trophoblasts. Within host cells, it establishes a replicative niche named Coxiella-containing vacuole (

Detection and Genotyping of Coxiella burnetii and Coxiella-Like Bacteria in Horses in South Korea

PLoS ONE, 2016
Coxiella burnetii and Coxiella-like bacteria (CLB) are genetically and ecologically distinct despite some genetic similarities. Furthermore, CLB are exceptionally diverse and widespread in ticks, but rarely detected in domestic animals.
