The Coxiellaceae family is composed of five genera showing lifestyles ranging from free-
living to symbiosis. Among them, Coxiella burnetii is a well-known pathogen causing Q fever …

Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is an intracellular bacterium of medical and
veterinary importance. The reservoirs of C. burnetii are extensive which include mammals …

Ticks are vectors of a variety of pathogens that can infect humans and animals. Ticks also
harbor non-pathogenic microbiota. This study characterized the microbiota of the ticks …

Aims Q fever is a globally distributed, neglected zoonotic disease of conservation and public
health importance, caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Coxiella burnetii normally …

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

As well as being vectors of many viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens of medical and
veterinary importance, ticks harbour a variety of microorganisms which are not known to be …

Ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting humans and animals worldwide. They do
not only carry pathogens but diverse commensal and symbiotic microorganisms are also …

The symbiotic microorganisms of arthropod vectors are highly significant from several points
of view, partly due to their possible roles in the transmission of pathogenic causative agents …

Both symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria in the family Coxiellaceae cause morbidity and
mortality in humans and animals. For instance, Coxiella-like endosymbionts (CLEs) improve …

Many organisms, such as insects, filarial nematodes, and ticks, contain heritable bacterial
endosymbionts that are often closely related to transmissible tickborne pathogens. These …
