Surveillance, prevention and control of Coxiella burnetii in cattle

  • 1. Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain

Description

With the aim to work out a program for surveillance, prevention and control of Coxiella burnetii 
in cattle, several questions were asked to the Scientific Committee. 
Cattle, like small ruminants, are considered to represent a reservoir for Coxiella burnetii. 
Aerogenic transmission of Coxiella burnetii strains between cattle and small ruminants, and 
vice versa, is considered to be possible. People can be infected by Coxiella burnetii strains 
from cattle. There is uncertainty about the type and virulence of circulating Coxiella burnetii 
strains in cattle in Belgium.
