Coxiella burnetii seroprevalence & Q fever in Australian wildlife rehabilitators
Wildlife rehabilitators give blood, sweat and tears in their work with wildlife.
At the Australian Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference in July 2018 in Sydney well over 100 volunteers from multiple states contributed to a study on Q Fever by offering blood samples.
This report published November 2020 concludes that more work needs to be done to promote awareness of this disease and encourage vaccination of wildlife rehabilitators, one of the groups at risk of contracting Q Fever.
