Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods and can harbor several bacteria, including the
worldwide zoonotic disease Q-fever agent Coxiella burnetii. Recent studies have reported a …

Members of the Coxiella genus are intracellular bacteria that can infect a variety of animals
including humans. A symbiotic Coxiella was recently described in Amblyomma americanum …

In the past two decades, many Coxiella-like bacteria have been found in hard ticks and soft
ticks as well as in vertebrate hosts. It is interesting to note that many ticks harbor Coxiella …

Recent studies have shown that ticks harbor Coxiella-like bacteria, which are potentially tick-
specific endosymbionts. We recently described the detection of Coxiella-like bacteria and …

In this study, we focused on the molecular detection of Coxiella-like bacteria using a PCR
technique to identify Coxiella 16S rRNA sequences in Haemaphysalis tick samples (105 …

Coxiella-like bacteria are a large group of yet-to-isolate and characterize bacteria
phylogenetically close to the agent of Q fever, Coxiella burnetii, and often associated with …

Coxiella burnetii is a zoonotic bacterium with an obligatory intracellular lifestyle and has a
worldwide distribution. Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of Q fever in humans and …

The obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of Q fever, a
widespread zoonotic disease whose most common animal reservoirs are domestic …

ABSTRACT A Coxiella-type microbe occurs at 100% frequency in all Amblyomma
americanum ticks thus far tested. Using laboratory-reared ticks free of other microbes, we …

In the present study, the presence of tick-associated bacteria and protozoa in Ornithodoros
rostratus ticks (adults, nymphs, and eggs) from the Pantanal region of Brazil were …
