Detection of Coxiella burnetii in Ambient Air after a Large Q Fever Outbreak [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
One of the largest Q fever outbreaks ever occurred in the Netherlands from 2007-2010, with 25 fatalities among 4,026 notified cases. Airborne dispersion of Coxiella burnetii was suspected but not studied extensively at the time.

<i>Coxiella burnetii</i> Infection Among Blood Donors From Baden-Wuerttemberg Province and Hesse Province, Germany: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Serological Study. [PDF]

Public Health Chall
This study analyzes the seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii in a German non‐risk population using a stratified sampling approach across two federal states (n = 8400 potential samples). Screening of over 5000 blood donors reveals an overall seroprevalence of 2.96%.

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 ...

Sensitive Detection of Antibodies in Patients with Acute Coxiella Burnetii Infection

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Purpose: Coxiella burnetii bacteria cause a zoonotic disease called Q fever. Differentiation between acute and chronic Coxiella infection is possible via serological detection of specific antibodies against Coxiella surface lipopolysaccharides, which ...
