Coxiellosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by a Gram-negative, obligate intracellular organism known as Coxiella burnetii. Although, the organism has wide range of hosts including domestic animals, rodents, reptiles, pets, birds, wild animals and arthropods, but ruminants, especially sheep and goats, are the main animal reservoirs and source of infection for humans (Van der Brom et al., 2015; Saglam and Sahin, 2016).
