“…The causative agent of the outbreak described here was an ST18 C. burnetii strain, which argues against a direct connection with the 2007-09 outbreak in the Netherlands which was caused primarily by ST33 [16,17]. ST18 has previously been detected in France, Germany, Italy, Romania and Slovakia [13].…”

“…Molecular epidemiology can be used to identify the source of infection in animals and humans. During the Q fever epidemic that occurred in The Netherlands between 2007 and 2010, C. burnetii genotyping was successfully applied to identify isolates circulating in infected dairy goat farms and in human cases (13)(14)(15). Genotyping is also useful under nonepidemic conditions to obtain an inventory of the main strains circulating among livestock (16)(17)(18).…”

“…The genotypic characterization of C. burnetii is of primary importance in the understanding of Q fever epidemiology (13). Indeed, it provides useful information about the strains circulating at the farm, region, or country level.…”

“…Coxiella burnetii in domestic animals, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, has been widely reported. [9][10][11][12] However, there is little detailed epidemiological data regarding the distribution and determinants of C. burnetii infection in rodents. Recent findings in Germany indicated regular sightings of wild rodents as risk factors for C. burnetii infection in humans, suggesting wild rodents as a direct source for human infection.…”
