(This article belongs to the Special Issue The Latest Advances in the Knowledge of Ticks and the Diseases They Transmit) (1) Background: Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii that have cases reported in humans and animals almost everywhere. The aim of this study was to describe the seasonality of Coxiella burnetii in the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the tick Hyalomma lusitanicum in a meso-Mediterranean ecosystem. (2) Methods: two populations of wild rabbits that differ in whether or not they share habitat with ungulates, mainly red deer (Cervus elaphus) were sampled for a year to collect ticks, blood and vaginal or anal swabs. Presence of C. burnetii DNA in swabs and the tick H. lusitanicum was determined by PCR and serum antibodies by ELISA. (3) Results: C. burnetii DNA was detected in 47.2% of 583 rabbits, in 65.5% of sera, and in more than half of the H. lusitanicum. There were small variations according to sex and age of the rabbits but significant according to the habitat (4) Conclusions: The results indicate that C. burnetii circulates freely between wild rabbits and H. lusitanicum and the sylvatic cycle in meso-Mediterranean environments relies in the presence of wild rabbits and H. lusitanicum above all if sharing habitat with red deer. This research was funded by Villamagna S.A.The authors are especially grateful to his Grace the Duke of Westminster for his financial and human support during all the studies Peer reviewed 2022-05-12T15:19:52Z 2022-05-12T15:19:52Z 2021-12-29 artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 Pathogens 11(1): 36 (2022) 2076-0817 http://hdl.handle.net/10261/269527 10.3390/pathogens11010036 35055984 2-s2.0-85127916206 https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85127916206 en Departamento de Reproducción Animal Publisher's version https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens11010036 Sí open Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute |
