Q fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii.

ABSTRACT: Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii. The disease most frequently manifests clinically as a self-limited febrile illness, as pneumonia (acute Q fever) or as a chronic illness that presents mainly as infective endocarditis. The extreme infectivity of the bacterium results in large ...
In the peak of the 2009 Q fever outbreak in the Netherlands, we introduced a diagnostic algorithm for acute Q fever with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for immunoglobulin M antibodies to Coxiella burnetii phase II antigens (MII screen) as an initial step. Subsequently, an immunofluorescence assay or PCR was ...
Q fever in humans and coxiellosis in livestock are on the increase in Canada. The progressive spread of Coxiella burnetii takes place in the animal reservoirs of the rickettsia, mainly domestic ruminants.
