Interdisciplinary studies on Coxiella burnetii: From molecular to cellular, to host, to one health research
Highlights
- The Q-GAPS consortium investigated Q fever based on the One Health approach.
- Molecular, cellular, host, and One Health aspects were studied.
- The Web-based platform CoxBase was developed for genomic analysis of C. burnetii.
- Strategies for the treatment and monitoring of Q fever were developed
- All findings are freely accessible from an information database (www.q-gaps.de)
