Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coxiella burnetii is a crucial zoonotic pathogen. This Special Issue of Animals focuses on Coxiella burnetii in cattle, sheep and goats. Firstly, the clinical significance of this pathogen and its diagnosis in humans will be briefly reviewed; subsequently, in order to offer enhanced knowledge to veterinarians, diagnostic procedures and their limitations will be detailed and discussed with a special focus on the clinical presentation of Coxiellosis in ruminants. Finally, control strategies, with a focus on vaccination and its efficacy, will be presented. Both case reports on Coxiella burnetii infections, and reviews on this fascinating pathogen and the complex illness it provokes, are exceedingly welcome.
