    Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA
    Appl Environ Microbiol 79:1697-703. 2013
    ..The results suggest that the highest concentrations of environmental C. burnetii are found in goat birthing areas and that contamination of other areas is mostly associated with human movement...
  2. ncbi Long-Term immune responses to Coxiella burnetii after vaccination
    Gilbert J Kersh
    Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
    Clin Vaccine Immunol 20:129-33. 2013
    ..These results show that IFA and IGRA perform similarly in detection of C. burnetii immune responses and that Q fever vaccination establishes long-lived immune responses to C. burnetii...

    Gilbert J Kersh
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rickettsial Zoonoses Branch, 1600 Clifton Rd NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30333, USA
    J Wildl Dis 48:201-6. 2012
    ..0% (73/215) had antibodies against either Phase 1 or Phase 2 C. burnetii. These results suggest that C. burnetii infection is common among marine mammals in this region...

    J Clin Microbiol 48:3428-31. 2010
    ..This is the first description of coxiellosis in a sea lion and suggests that exposure to sea lions may be a risk factor for contracting Q fever...
