Background: Cheese is a popular dairy product consumed worldwide, and it has been implicated as a source of Coxiella burnetii infections.
Objectives: The present study aimed to describe the molecular prevalence and source analysis of C. burnetii in cheese samples.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the Medline/PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to identify studies reporting the molecular prevalence of C. burnetii in cheese samples. The pooled prevalence of C. burnetii in cheese samples was estimated using a random-effects model.
Results: A meta-analysis was conducted using the mean and standard deviation values obtained from 13 original studies. The overall molecular prevalence of C. burnetii in cheese was estimated to be 25.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13.1%-39.7%). The I value of 96.3% (CI 94.9-97.3) suggested high heterogeneity, with a τ of 0.642 (CI -0.141 to 0.881), and an χ statistic of 323.77 (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: In conclusion, our meta-analysis provides a thorough assessment of the molecular prevalence and source analysis of C. burnetii in cheese samples.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of two pasteurization steps on the protein profile of whey protein concentrate (WPC), which is a common dairy product.
- It follows U.S. regulations mandating the pasteurization of raw milk to eliminate harmful microorganisms while also potentially altering the proteins in the milk.
- The research uses various methods, including solubility testing and mass spectrometry, to show that pasteurization reduces soluble whey proteins and key bioactive proteins like lactoferrin, while the impact on protein hydrophobicity is not significant.

There are few studies on (Cb) as a causative agent of Q fever in dairy products in Iran. The prevalence of Cb was studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in Kope (pot) cheese and cattle milk collected from West Azerbaijan province, Iran. A total number of 240 Kope cheese and 560 milk samples were collected during the year 2020.

Coxiella burnetii is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium that is responsible for Q fever, a common zoonosis which is present virtually worldwide. This microorganism infects a wide range of wild and domestic mammals, but the main reservoirs are cattle, goats and sheep, which also represent sources of human infection. A potential route of transmission of this pathogen to humans is the consumption of C.
