| epidemiology of q fever in italy and in other mediterranean countries. | the history of q fever in italy may be divided into three periods: epidemic in character after the second world war, endemic occurrence from 1960 to 1980, and sporadic occurrence at present. clinical symptoms are unspecific, and diagnosis must be confirmed by serology and isolation of the causative agent. the reported incidence is consequently underestimated. results are reported of a seroepidemiologic survey in animals and humans in the italian region and western sicily. in the mediterranean ar ... | 1987 | 3434014 |

| dog tick-borne diseases in sicily. | in sicily many tick borne diseases are endemic, in particular way those that see like main carrier ticks that prefer, for their vital cycle, climatic conditions characterized by high temperatures and a warmth-humid atmosphere. the more important pathologies transmitted by ticks causing diseases in dogs are babesiosis and ehrlichiosis. borrelia burgdorferi, anaplasma phagocytophilum, rickettsia conorii, coxiella burnetii and tick transmitted encephalitis virus assume particular relevance because ... | 2006 | 16881419 |

| analysis of seroprevalence against coxiella burnetii in a sample of farm workers in western sicily. | little is known about the development of chronic q fever caused by coxiella burnetii in occupational risk groups and in the general population in italy, as well as in many countries in the world. the aim of this study was to highlight the presence of the infection in a sample of workers operating outdoors (but not directly in contact with animals), in three provinces of western sicily, in order to detect the human seroprevalence and compare the obtained data with those found in animals raised in ... | 2016 | 27007520 |
