| Resumo: | Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a globally distributed zoonosis, with cattle, sheep, and goats considered the main reservoirs of the disease (Agger et al,., 2013; Bento et al., 2023). Human transmission primarily occurs through inhaling infections aerosols from milk, faeces, urina, and birth products from infected ruminants.
