Evaluation of a program for surveillance, prevention and control of Coxiella burnetii in small ruminants
- 1. Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain
Description
It is asked to the Scientific Committee to evaluate a program of surveillance, prevention and
control of Coxiella burnetii in small ruminants, and to answer several specific questions. The
program is based on the urgent advice 01-2010 and on the rapid advice 08-2010 of the
Scientific Committee.
The aim of the program is to control the dispersion of Coxiella burnetii in small ruminants and
to limit the transmission of the bacteria to humans. The main source of infection for humans is
by inhalation of with Coxiella burnetii contaminated dust or aerosols. These aerosols are
mainly formed by the excretion of the bacteria during parturition or abortion, and/or via
excreta of infected animals.
