pathogen. The bacteria have been described in ticks, but their role in transmission of Q fever …

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 …

Several different ticks have been reported to harbor microbes related to Coxiella burnetii, the
agent of the Q fever. Rhipicephalus bursa is an important vector of tick-borne diseases in …

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 …

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 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 …

Q fever is a global zoonotic infection caused by the intracellular Gram-negative bacterium
Coxiella burnetii. Historically, it is considered a vector-borne disease, but the role of ticks in …

Q fever, as one of the tick-borne zoonotic diseases, is caused by Coxiella burnetii. Ticks may
play an important role in C. burnetii transmission to animals and humans. By using nested …
