Alteration of host cell ubiquitination by the intracellular bacterial pathogen Coxiella burnetii [PDF]
, 2014 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

Coxiella burnetiiin Ticks, Argentina
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 To the Editor: The Gammaproteobacterium Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of acute Q fever and chronic endocarditis in humans worldwide. It is transmitted primarily by aerosol route or by ingestion of fomites from infected animals, mostly from domestic ruminants (1). Although >40 tick species can be infected with C. burnetii, direct transmission
