Diversity of Coxiella-like and Francisella-like endosymbionts, and Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii as pathogens in the tick populations of Slovakia, Central Europe [PDF]
Ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting humans and animals worldwide. They do not only carry pathogens but diverse commensal and symbiotic microorganisms are also present in ticks.

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

Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Effects of long-term vaccination against Coxiella burnetii on the fertility of high-producing dairy cows [PDF]
The impact of long-term vaccination against Coxiella burnetii on the fertility of cows was studied. Double vaccinations three weeks apart at the start of the third trimester of gestation in each of two consecutive pregnancies were applied.

ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Alteration of host cell ubiquitination by the intracellular bacterial pathogen Coxiella burnetii [PDF]
The intracellular bacterial agent of Q fever, Coxiella burnetii, replicates within a phagolysosomelike parasitophorous vacuole (PV) in human macrophages and delivers effector proteins to the host cytosol via a Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS). The
