Primary Murine Macrophages as a Tool for Virulence Factor Discovery in Coxiella burnetii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Coxiella burnetii requires a type IVB secretion system (T4SS) to promote intracellular replication and virulence. We hypothesized that Coxiella employs its T4SS to secrete effectors that enable stealthy colonization of immune cells.

Tick‐borne pathogen interactions enhance transmission in cattle and ticks in Ogun, Nigeria

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) pose a major public health concern in tropical regions, where co‐infections and pathogen interactions complicate disease control. Understanding how these interactions vary across vertebrate hosts and tick vectors, and their impact on disease transmission, is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies ...

Coxiella burnetii-containing vacuoles interact with host recycling endosomal proteins Rab11a and Rab35 for vacuolar expansion and bacterial growth

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionCoxiella burnetii is a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium and a zoonotic pathogen that causes human Q fever. The lack of effective antibiotics and a licensed vaccine for Coxiella in the U.S. warrants further research into Coxiella

Post‐Infectious Fatigue and Depression Following Dengue: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Associated Factors

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐dengue fatigue syndrome is a debilitating long‐term condition that affects daily activities, quality of life, and productivity. Its underlying mechanisms remain unclear, but clinical similarities with post‐dengue depression complicate differentiation.

Genetics ofCoxiella burnetii [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1996
Those organisms considered to be obligate intracellular bacteria are interesting objects for genetic studies. Little is known about their mechanisms for natural genetic exchange. Many genes from the bacterium Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intraphagolysosomal pathogen, have therefore been cloned and characterized using the heterologous host Escherichia

Understanding the Distribution of Muscidae Flies and Their Role as Vectors of Bacterial Pathogens in South Africa: A Review Using BOLD Barcoding Data

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of Muscidae flies as vectors of bacterial pathogens with veterinary and public health significance necessitates accurate species identification and distribution mapping. This review analysed records from the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) national Diptera checklist ...

Coxiella burnetiiin Ticks, Argentina

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Au rédacteur en chef : La Gammaproteobacterium Coxiella burnetii est l'agent causal de la fièvre Q aiguë et de l'endocardite chronique chez l'homme dans le monde entier. Elle est transmise principalement par voie aérosol ou par ingestion de fomites provenant d'animaux infectés, principalement de ruminants domestiques (1). Bien que plus de 40 espèces de

The Effector Cig57 Hijacks FCHO-Mediated Vesicular Trafficking to Facilitate Intracellular Replication of Coxiella burnetii.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that infects alveolar macrophages and replicates within a unique lysosome-derived vacuole. When Coxiella is trafficked to a host cell lysosome the essential Dot/Icm type IV secretion system is ...
