Genetic Diversity, Phylogenetic Structure, and Assessment of the Zoonotic Potential of <em>Coxiella burnetii</em> Strains Circulating in Africa
2026-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Coxiella burnetii, the bacterium responsible for Q fever, is an obligate intracellular pathogen. Q fever is a global zoonotic disease, except in New Zealand, and has significant economic and public health consequences. In Africa, although studies on human and animal seroprevalence are well documented, knowledge regarding the evolution and phylogenetic structure of circulating C. burnetii strains remains incomplete...
