Description: The incidence of Q fever in the U.S. is likely underestimated because infections are seldom diagnosed with confirmatory tests and clinical presentation is similar to a variety of fevers of unknown origin.
Infections are not verified by culturing of the organisms because of difficulties inherent to propagation of the organism, and the value of DNA identification of the organism during infection has not been established.
To test this hypothesis, we will establish an aerosol-delivered acute Q fever model in guinea pigs to accurately represent human disease caused by inhalation, the natural route of infection and the likely route of infection resulting from a bioterrorist release.
