Performance Evaluation and Validation of Air Samplers To Detect Aerosolized Coxiella burnetii

ABSTRACT Coxiella burnetii, the etiological agent of Q fever, is an intracellular zoonotic pathogen transmitted via the respiratory route. Once released from infected animals, C. burnetii can travel long distances through air before infecting another host. As such, the ability to detect the presence...
