Molecular methods routinely used to detect Coxiella burnetii in ticks cross-react with Coxiella-like bacteria
Background: Q fever is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. Ticks may act as vectors, and many epidemiological studies aim to assess C. burnetii prevalence in ticks. Because ticks may also be infected with Coxiella-like bacteria, screening tools that differentiate between C. bu...
