The Prevalence of the Q-fever Agent Coxiella burnetii in Ticks Collected from an Animal Shelter in Southeast Georgia
<p>Author's abstract: Q-fever is a zoonosis caused by a worldwide-distributed bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Ticks are vectors of the Q-fever agent but play a secondary role in transmission because the agent is also transmitted via aerosols. Most Q-fever studies have focused on farm animals but not …

The Role of Mammalian Lipid Transport Protein ORP1 During Coxiella Burnetii Infection
… bacterium that causes the human disease Q fever. C. burnetii is transmitted from infected animals to humans through inhalation of infectious droplets. Acute Q fever is a flu-like illness lasting 10-14 days. Patients often have respiratory symptoms and present with pneumonia. Patients with …

Applied epidemiology of infectious diseases in Australia
… overseas, particularly to Indonesia. Q fever is a zoonosis that has a wide range of reservoirs in Australia. In humans the disease can manifest as either acute febrile illness or chronic illness that may affect the heart or liver. The Australian Government funded the National Q fever …

Structure-Based Drug Design Against a Biosecurity Pathogen
… Gammaproteobacterium, causes the human disease Q-fever. It displays a biphasic lifestyle, with a metabolically constrained small cell variant form enabling survival in the environment. Infection through aerosolization triggers conversion to the metabolically active large cell variant. Disease …

Communicable Diseases Epidemiology
… of Aboriginal people diagnosed with Q fever in NSW, particularly in Western NSW. Following indirect standardisation, we found that Aboriginal people across Western NSW were notified with Q fever almost 35% more often as non-Indigenous people living in the same area. Aboriginal people …

The epidemiology of Coxiella burnetii in goats in Indiana
… the etiologic agent of the zoonotic disease Q fever. Through the presence of an environmentally resilient small cell variant, C. burnetii can persist outside of a host in the face of extremes in temperature, humidity, and pressure. C. burnetii is considered to be ubiquitous in the environment …

One Health investigation at abattoirs in South Africa
… diseases such as brucellosis and coxiellosis (Q-fever) are well known infections of humans and domestic animals while toxoplasmosis is zoonotic from cats to humans and thus investigated for its infectious potential in this study. Brucella abortus and B. melitensis have been reported in South …

Recruitment and function of ORP1L on the Coxiella burnetii parasitophorous vacuole
Coxiella burnetii, the zoonotic agent of human Q fever and chronic endocarditis, is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen. The Coxiella intracellular niche, a large, lysosome-like parasitophorous vacuole (PV), is essential for bacterial survival and replication. There is growing evidence …

Evasion Of Innate Immunity By The Pathogen Coxiella Burnetii
… macrophages and causes the emerging disease Q fever. It uses a type IV secretion system (T4SS) to inject over 100 bacterial effector proteins into the host cytoplasm, which modulate many host cellular processes to form a replicative niche for the bacteria inside the cell. We describe here the …

Inhibition of TFEB activation promotes Coxiella burnetii growth
Coxiella burnetii is the etiologic agent of Q fever, a zoonotic disease characterized by flu-like sickness in acute cases; endocarditis may occur and turn deadly if not treated correctly in chronic patients. Coxiella, an obligate intracellular bacterium, requires establishment of a replicative …
