Genetic mechanisms of Coxiella burnetii lipopolysaccharide phase variation
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular pathogen that causes human Q fever, a disease that normally presents as a severe flu-like illness. Due to high infectivity and disease severity, the pathogen is considered a risk group 3 organism.

Exposure to West Nile Virus in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems
Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 207-214, March 2025.ABSTRACT Background West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed mosquito‐borne flavivirus. Over the past decade, its spread across Europe has raised significant concerns for both public and animal health. Although WNV exposure has been evidenced in various wild mammal species in Spain, no seroepidemiological studies have been conducted on this

Molecular method for the characterization of Coxiella burnetii from clinical and environmental samples: variability of genotypes in Spain [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Coxiella burnetii is a highly clonal microorganism which is difficult to culture, requiring BSL3 conditions for its propagation. This leads to a scarce availability of isolates worldwide.

Q Fever Endocarditis and a New Genotype of Coxiella burnetii, Greece
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Underdiagnosis of Coxiella burnetii infections in Greece is possible because of lack of awareness by physicians, and most suspected cases are in patients with no bovine contact. We found serologic evidence of C.

Trisomy 26 in a Holstein calf with disorders of sex development
Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Hypospadias occurs sporadically in male livestock and is characterized by a non‐fused urethra during fetal development. In this study, perineal hypospadias, a bifid scrotum, penile hypoplasia, and bilateral abdominal cryptorchidism were diagnosed in a neonatal Holstein male calf.

Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria. [PDF]
, 2017 Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydia abortus and Leptospira spp. are difficult to grow bacteria that play a role in bovine abortion, but their diagnosis is hampered by their obligate intracellular lifestyle (C. burnetii, C. abortus) or their lability (Leptospira
