New Genotype of Coxiella burnetii Causing Epizootic Q Fever Outbreak in Rodents, Northern Senegal

In Senegal, Coxiella burnetii, which causes Q fever, has often been identified in ticks and humans near livestock, which are considered to be reservoirs and main sources of infection. We describe the emergence of C. burnetii in rodents, not previously known to carry this pathogen, and describe 2 new...

Description
Summary:In Senegal, Coxiella burnetii, which causes Q fever, has often been identified in ticks and humans near livestock, which are considered to be reservoirs and main sources of infection. We describe the emergence of C. burnetii in rodents, not previously known to carry this pathogen, and describe 2 new genotypes.
