Article Synopsis
- Q fever is a disease caused by a bacterium that poses risks to people working in animal-related jobs and those in contact with wildlife.
- While many people experience no symptoms, about 5% of those who do can develop serious long-term health issues, such as endocarditis.
- The review discusses how the immune response to Q fever can influence disease outcomes and highlights ongoing efforts to develop a safer, cost-effective vaccine, as the current vaccine (Q-VAX) can cause adverse reactions in those previously exposed.
