Coxiella burnetii Infection in Cats. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii, with farm ruminants being considered the main sources of infection for humans. However, there have been several cases of the disease in people that have been related to domestic cats as well. Cats can become infected through various routes, including ingestion of raw milk, hunting and consuming

Genetics of Coxiella 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

Molecular characterisation of Coxiella burnetii dairy cattle strains in Estonia [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii), an obligate intracellular zoonotic bacterium, causes abortions, stillbirths, and birth of premature and weak offspring in animals. Sheep and goats, are considered important reservoirs of infection for humans.

Coxiella burnetii vascular graft infection [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2005
Background Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, may cause culture-negative vascular graft infections. Very few cases of C. burnetii infection of a vascular graft have been reported. All were diagnosed by serology.

Phylogeography of Human and Animal Coxiella burnetii Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria Coxiella burnetii. Domestic ruminants are the primary source for human infection, and the identification of likely contamination routes from the reservoir animals the critical point to implement ...

Macrophages inhibit Coxiella burnetii by the ACOD1‐itaconate pathway for containment of Q fever

bioRxiv, 2022
Infection with the intracellular bacterium Coxiella (C.) burnetii can cause chronic Q fever with severe complications and limited treatment options. Here, we identify the enzyme cis- aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1 or IRG1) and its product itaconate as ...
