Resumo(s)
Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is a neglected
zoonosis in Portugal, with mandatory notification (1).
Transmission to humans occurs mainly by inhalation of
contaminated aerosols generated in small-ruminant
settings, with shedding peaking around parturition
(placenta, bedding, dust) (2 - 4).
Evidence from Portugal documents showed animal
exposure, peripartum PCR positivity and signals among
occupational groups (5-7), but surveillance remains
fragmented and methodologies are heterogeneous across
studies (5, 4). Regional gaps persist, including in the
Portuguese northeastern region (5, 7).
