Abstract
Q fever is endemic in Turkey in both human beings and animals. Cows, sheep, goats, and dogs may play a role as reservoirs of Coxiella burnetii. Ornithodorus lahorensis ticks also harbour the agent. The disease is disseminated throughout Turkey; epidemics among human beings are relatively rare.Entities:
