Evaluation of the efficacy of vaccination to control Coxiella burnetii infection in dairy cattle herds

The efficacy of vaccination to control Coxiella burnetii infection in dairy cattle herds was evaluated based on a large intervention study and epidemiological modelling work.

The results identified effective strategies in infected environments. Throughout the research programme, regular interactions were organised with private (Health Defence Groups, ACERSA, animal health industry) and public (DGAl, EFSA) stakeholders concerned by the control of Q fever.
