Remarkable spatial variation in the seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii after a large Q fever epidemic

Abstract Background Prior to the 2007–2010 Q fever epidemic in the Netherlands, the seroprevalence of antibodies against Coxiella burnetii in the general population was 1.5%, which is low compared to other countries.
